Auksinu

/ɔːkˈsiːnuː/ noun

Definition

An alternative or variant form referring to auxin, the plant growth hormone.

Etymology

This appears to be a variant spelling or non-English form (possibly Lithuanian or another language) of auxin, maintaining the Greek root auxein 'to grow'.

Kelly Says

Different languages have different ways of naming the same plant hormone—this shows how international science creates its own vocabulary bridges across language barriers.
