2. inhabitation of flowering by low temperature treatment

3. flower induction by light treatment

4. acceleration of the ability of a plant to produce flowers by chilling treatment

Parthenocarpy in grapes is induced by:-

1. cytokinins

2. gibberellins

3. topoisomerases

4. primase

Induction of flowering by low temperature in plants is 

1. cryobiology

4. All of these.

Bud dormancy is induced by:-

1. ABA

2. ethylene

Phytohormones are?
(1) hormones regulating growth from seed to adulthood

(2) growth regulators synthesised by plants and influencing physiological process

(3) hormones regulating flowering

(4) hormones regulating secondary growth
