To promote stem elongation, gibberellins act in concert with:
1. | Auxins | 2. | Cytokinins |
3. | Ethylene | 4. | ABA |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding gibberellins:
1. All are acidic
2. Cause bolting in plants with rosette habit
3. Delay the maturity period of juvenile conifers
4. Speed up malting process in brewing industry
The removal or inactivation of which of the following will lead to germination of many types of dormant seeds?
1. | ABA | 2. | Ethylene |
3. | Cytokinins | 4. | Gibberellins |
Many mutants that are especially prone to wilting are deficient in:
1. ABA
2. Ethylene
3. Cytokinins
4. Gibberellins
The fact that various plant hormones can have different effects at different concentrations can explain:
1. Need of photoperiodism for flowering in plants.
2. Plant hormones being needed in vary high amounts.
3. Antagonism between auxin and cytokinin in the control of apical dominance.
4. Cell elongation stimulation in apical meristems and inhibition axillary buds by auxins.
Hyponastic response in submerged plants may be due to auxin and:
1. ABA
2. Ethylene
3. Cytikinin
4. Gibberellins
The ‘triple response to mechanical stress’ is related to the plant growth regulator:
1. Ethylene
2. ABA
3. Auxin
4. Cytokinin
To render the cells of abscission layer more sensitive to ethylene, an aging leaf produces less and less:
1. Cytokinin
2. Auxin
3. Gibberellin
4. ABA
The newly discovered PGR brassinosteroids have effects qualitatively similar to:
1. Auxins
2. Gibberellins
3. Cytokinins
4. Ethylene
The plant hormones that are produced by wounded plants and play a key role in controlling plant defences against herbivores as well as responsible for enchanting fragrance of jasmine are:
1. Brassinosteroids
2. Strigolactones
3. Jasmonates
4. Auxins
