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. |

Statement I: | Kinetin, a modified form of adenine, a purine, was discovered from the autoclaved herring sperm DNA. |
Statement II: | Search for natural substances with cytokinin-like activities led to the isolation of zeatin from corn-kernels and coconut milk. |
