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 |
Normally, when the seeds are mature, ethylene production increases and builds-up within the fruit, resulting in a climactic event that means:
1. | A sudden spurt of growth | 2. | Leaf expansion |
3. | Rise in respiratory rate | 4. | Death of radicle |
Which PGR is used to initiate flowering and for synchronizing fruit set in pineapple?
1. | Cytokinin | 2. | ABA |
3. | Ethylene | 4. | GA |
Which PGR stimulates the closure of stomata in the epidermis and increases the tolerance of plants to various kinds of stress?
1. | Cytokinin | 2. | Giberrellin |
3. | ABA | 4. | Ethylene |
In most situations, which PGR acts as an antagonist to GAs?
1. | ABA | 2. | Ethylene |
3. | Cytokinin | 4. | Giberrellin |
