Consider the given two statements:          
Statement I:  There are a number of events in the life of a plant where more than one PGR interact to affect that event, e.g., dormancy in seeds/buds, abscission, senescence, apical dominance, etc.
Statement II:  Many of the extrinsic factors such as temperature and light, control plant growth and development via PGR such as vernalisation, flowering, dormancy, seed germination, plant movements, etc.

1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
