Redirecting auxin flows, man. LOL. It can in fact stimulate a plant to start new shoots, if divided too small. Call it an evolutionary response to the randomness of mokeys in trees, perhaps. It works with backbulbs, too. You get several smaller growths which will root an establish the plant, then later larger, flowering-size growths come in.
