IAA biosynthesis is associated with rapidly dividing and growing tissues

Primary site of auxin synthesis are shoot apical meristem and young leaves

Root apical meristem also synthesize auxin

Young fruits an seeds also have high level of auxin

Bergmann’s rule: populations in colder climates tend to have greater body mass than those

in warmer climates. This pattern is so common that it has a name.

Haldane’s rule: hybrid sterility or hybrid inviability is often limited to the heterogametic sex. (The heterogametic sex is the one with two different sex chromosomes, while the homogametic sex has two sex chromosomes of the same type).
