1. Auxins| 1. | induces growth of shoot buds |
| 2. | induces root formation |
| 3. | leads to death of cells in callus |

| I: | They are rich in protoplasm, possess large conspicuous nuclei. |
| II: | Their cell walls are primary in nature, thin and cellulosic with abundant plasmodesmatal connections. |
| I: | Water provides the medium for enzymatic activities needed for growth. |
| II: | Oxygen helps in releasing metabolic energy essential for growth activities. |
| III: | Nutrients (macro and micro essential elements) are required by plants for the synthesis of protoplasm and act as source of energy. |
| I: | All Gibberellins are acidic. |
| II: | Gibberellins, cause a fruit like apple to elongate and improve its shape. |
| III: | Gibberellins delay senescence. |
| IV: | GA3 is used to speed up the malting process in brewing industry. |
| Assertion (A): | Spraying juvenile conifers with GAs leads to early seed production. |
| Reason (R): | Spraying juvenile conifers with GAs hastens the maturity period. |

| 1. | Cytokinins were discovered as kinetin (a modified form of adenine, a purine) from the autoclaved herring sperm DNA. |
| 2. | Kinetin occurs naturally in plants. |
| 3. | Natural cytokinins are synthesised in regions where rapid cell division occurs. |
| 4. | Cytokinins help overcome the apical dominance. |
