The plant hormones are synthesised by the plant cells needed. Few hormones are specifically synthesised at a particular part of the plant like auxin synthesised in growing shoot apices and ethylene is secretes by ripened fruits. Cytokinin is found in dividing cells. Unlike plants animal being more advanced, and organised they have proper hormone secreting glands and organs. These are transported through the transport system of their body in both plant and animals. In plants, hormone are translocated via xylem and phloem to the site of activity.
