How resource allocation happens in plants ?

Resource allocation in crops involves the distribution of limited resources, such as energy, nutrients, and water, among various plant organs and physiological processes to optimize growth, development, and reproduction.  Allocation is influenced by genetic factors, environmental conditions, and plant management practices. Economic framework for understanding resource allocation in plants, emphasizing the trade-offs involved in allocating resources to different plant organs and functions. Plants allocate resources to growth, reproduction, and defense mechanisms in response to environmental cues and stressors. "optimal allocation," where plants allocate resources to maximize fitness under varying environmental conditions.  Plant hormones also play role such as auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins, in regulating resource allocation processes.
