Identify the correct statements regarding vernalization:
I: The process, by which exposure to cold renders plants competent to flower is called vernalization.
II:  Even after vernalization, the plant must be subjected to a suitable photoperiod, usually long days.
III:  Like photoperiod, vernalization is also perceived in leaves.
IV:  In most biennial long day plants that form rosettes, gibberellins treatment can substitute for the cold requirement.

Identify the correct statements regarding auxins?
I: Auxin stimulates cell elongation by stimulating wall-loosening factors, such as expansins, to loosen cell walls.
II: When auxin and cytokinin are applied to callus, rooting can be generated with higher auxin to cytokinin ratios, shoot growth is induced by lower auxin to cytokinin ratios.
III: Auxin induces the formation and organization of phloem and xylem.
IV: In low concentrations, auxin can inhibit ethylene formation and transport of precursor in plants; however, high concentrations can induce the synthesis of ethylene.
