Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
PGR | Chemical nature | |
1. | Auxins | Indole compounds |
2. | Cytokinin | Pyrimidine derivatives |
3. | ABA | Carotenoid derivative |
4. | Gibberellic acid | Terpenes |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
Scientist | PGR discovery | |
1. | Cousins | Ethylene |
2. | Kurosawa | Gibberellin |
3. | Skoog and Miller | ABA |
4. | F. W. Went | Auxin |
I: | Auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins are plant growth promoters. |
II: | ABA is an inhibitor of plant growth activities. |
III: | Ethylene is largely a plant growth promoter. |
1. | Cytokinins | 2. | Ethylene |
3. | Jasmonates | 4. | GAs |
Kinetin was first discovered from:
1. | Herring sperm DNA | 2. | Coconut milk |
3. | Yeast extract | 4. | Corn kernels |
Assertion (A): | Gibberellins are used to increase the length of grape stalks. |
Reason (R): | Gibberellins help overcome apical dominance. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True; (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False; (R) is True. |
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. |
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. |
Cytokinins do not help in:
1. Production of new leaves
2. Lateral shoot growth
3. Adventitious shoot formation
4. Promotion of apical dominance
Cytokinins help in delay of leaf senescence because they:
1. | Promote new leaves formation |
2. | Help overcome apical dominance |
3. | Help in chloroplast formation in leaves |
4. | Promote nutrient mobilization |
