In a tissue culture experiment, the undifferentiated callus will develop shoot buds if:
1. amount of auxin and cytokinin is equal in the medium
2. amount of auxin is more than the amount of cytokinin in the medium
3. amount of cytokinin is more than the amount of auxin in the medium
4. the medium lacks auxin and cytokinin but has other plant growth regulators

The fact that various plant hormones can have different effects at different concentrations can explain:
1. Need of photoperiodism for flowering in plants.
2. Plant hormones being needed in vary high amounts.
