Apical dominance
apical dominance Concentration of growth at the tip of a plant shoot. Where a terminal bud partially inhibits axillary bud growth. It is thought to be caused by the apical bud producing a great deal of IAA (auxin), which is transported from the apical bud to the surrounding area and causes lateral buds to stay dormant.
