Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
PGR | Chemical nature | |
1. | Auxins | Indole compounds |
2. | Cytokinin | Pyrimidine derivatives |
3. | ABA | Carotenoid derivative |
4. | Gibberellic acid | Terpenes |
Identify the plant growth regulator that, though is largely an inhibitor but, can be placed in both plant growth promoter and plant growth inhibitor groups?
1. | Auxins | 2. | Gibberellins |
3. | Ethylene | 4. | Abscisic acid |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
Scientist | PGR discovery | |
1. | Cousins | Ethylene |
2. | Kurosawa | Gibberellin |
3. | Skoog and Miller | ABA |
4. | F. W. Went | Auxin |
Callus from internodal segments of tobacco stem gets proliferated only if in addition to one of the following – extracts of vascular tissues, yeast extract, coconut milk or DNA, the nutrient medium also contains:
1. | Auxins | 2. | Gibberellins |
3. | ABA | 4. | Ethylene |
Auxin was first isolated from:
1. | Coconut milk | 2. | Barley endosperm |
3. | Oat coleoptiles | 4. | Human urine |
Auxin does not:
1. | Help to initiate rooting in stem cuttings |
2. | Promote female flowers in cucumbers |
3. | Prevent fruit and leaf drop in early stages |
4. | Promote abscission of older mature leaves and fruits |
To extend their market period, fruits can be left on trees longer by the application of:
1. | Auxin | 2. | Gibberellins |
3. | Cytokinin | 4. | ABA |
Kinetin was first discovered from:
1. | Herring sperm DNA | 2. | Coconut milk |
3. | Yeast extract | 4. | Corn kernels |
Cytokinins do not help in:
1. | Production of new leaves |
2. | Lateral shoot growth |
3. | Adventitious shoot formation |
4. | Promotion of apical dominance |
Cytokinins help in delay of leaf senescence because they:
1. | Promote new leaves formation |
2. | Help overcome apical dominance |
3. | Help in chloroplast formation in leaves |
4. | Promote nutrient mobilization |
