A mutation is an inheritable change in DNA. So I agree with
Andrew that hormones dont lead to mutations. THey can change a
plant for a shorter or longer time just as food deprivation in a puppy
leads to a small dog but it will not inherit to the offspring. There is
no difference in DNA nor a mutation between the creeping and
fruiting form of ivy either, despite looking "'permanently" very
different
