Plant hormones can have different effects at different concentrations, which explains how the same hormone can regulate a variety of different processes in the plant's life cycle. For instance, the hormone auxin can promote stem elongation at low concentrations, but can inhibit growth at very high concentrations. This differential effect is due to the way plant cells respond to hormone concentration gradients and is one of the ways plants use to integrate environmental signals with their developmental processes.
