I: | Spraying sugarcane crop with gibberellins increases the yield by as much as 20 tonnes per acre. |
II: | Sugarcane stores carbohydrates as sugar in their stems and spraying sugarcane crop with gibberellins increases the length of the stem. |

1. | They were discovered as kinetin, a modified form of adenine. |
2. | Zeatin was isolated from corn-kernels and coconut milk. |
3. | Kinetin occurs widely in almost all plants. |
4. | Natural cytokinins are synthesized in region where rapid cell division occurs. |
I: | Help produce new leaves, chloroplasts in leaves, lateral shoot growth and adventitious root formation. |
II: | Help overcome the apical dominance. |
III: | Promote nutrient mobilisation, which helps in the delay of leaf senescence. |

I: | The most widely used compound as source of ethylene is ethephon. |
II: | Ethephon in an aqueous solution is readily absorbed and transported within the plant and releases ethylene slowly. |
