Refer the given figures on photoperiodism and select the correct option.

Abscisic acid is known as the stress hormone because it

(1) breaks seed dormancy

(2) induces flowering

(3) promotes leaf fall

(4) promotes closure of stomata

Which of the following plant growth regulators (PGRs) promotes root initiation, flowering and
induced parthenocarpy?

(1) Gibberellin

(2) Auxin

(3) Cytokinin

(4) Ethylene

Vernalisation is subjected to plants growing in ?
(1) tropical

(2) sub tropical areas

(3) temperate areas

(4) hot region/arctic region

Gibberellins can promote seed germination because of their influence on

(1) rate of cell division

(2) production of hydrolyzing enzymes

(3) synthesis of abscisic acid

(4) absorption of water through hard seed coat

One hormone hastens maturity period in juvenile conifers, a second hormone controls xylem differentiation, while the third hormone increases the tolerance of plants to various stresses.They are respectively:-

(1) Gibberellin, Auxin, Ethylene

(2) Auxin, Gibberellin, Cytokinin

(3) Gibberellin, Auxin, ABA

(4) Auxin, Gibberellin, ABA

Identify the incorrect statement about ABA growth regulator.

Which of the following plant growth hormone increase the yield of sugar by increasing the length of stem in sugarcane?
(1) Cytokinin

(2) Ethylene

(3) Gibberellic acid

(4) Auxin

In the process of apical dominance, lateral buds are unable to grow in the presence of apical bud. This is due to:-
(1) less amount of cytokinins in lateral buds

(2) more amount of cytokinins in lateral buds

(3) less amount of auxin in lateral buds

(4) more amount of auxin in lateral buds

Refrigerated fruits maintain flavour and taste for longer period due to:-
(1) non-availability of O₂

(2) the presence of excess of CO₂

(3) the presence of excess humidity

(4) slower rate of respiration
