Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA).

Answer to Question 2

Darwin described the effects of light on the movement of coleoptiles and suggested
that auxins were involved.
Went in 1928 developed a method for the quantification of plant hormones present
in a sample, which was called the Avena curvature bioassay.

human urine.
