What is incorrect regarding the results of experiments conducted on coleoptiles of canary grass and oats by Charles Darwin and Francis Darwin on phototropism?
1. | Both plants grow toward the light source. |
2. | The tips of coleoptiles were covered with a metal foil and the coleoptiles did not grow toward light. |
3. | When the metal foil was removed they still not grew toward the light. |
4. | The growing region of the coleoptiles rather than their tips was covered and the coleoptiles grew toward the light. |
Plant growth regulators do not:
1. | act by altering gene expression. |
2. | have multiple effects. |
3. | function independently of other hormones. |
4. | control cell division and cell differentiation |
The control of apical dominance is due to interaction of auxins, cytokinins and a newly discovered plant hormone called as:
1. Brassinosteroids
2. Jasmonates
3. Salicylic acid
4. Strigolactones
Many mutants that are especially prone to wilting are deficient in:
1. ABA
2. Ethylene
3. Cytokinins
4. Gibberellins
Hyponastic response in submerged plants may be due to auxin and:
1. ABA
2. Ethylene
3. Cytikinin
4. Gibberellins
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
The most important colors in regulating photomorhogenesis in plants are:
1. Violet and Yellow
2. White and Black
3. Green and Orange
4. Red and Blue
When lettuce seeds illuminated by red light are then exposed to far red light:
1. is converted to and germination is inhibited
2. is converted to and germination is initiated
3. is converted to and germination is inhibited
4. is converted to and germination is initiated
