In most situations, ABA acts as an antagonist to:
| 1. | Auxins | 2. | GAs |
| 3. | Ethylene | 4. | Cytokinins |
How does pruning help in making the hedge dense?
| 1. | It induces the differentiation of new shoots from the rootstock |
| 2. | It frees axillary buds from apical dominance |
| 3. | The apical shoots grow faster after pruning |
| 4. | It releases wound hormones |
There are certain seeds that fail to germinate even when external conditions are favourable. Some of the chemical inhibitors present in such seeds can be all of the following except:
| 1. | Abscisic acids | 2. | Phenolic acid |
| 3. | Para-ascorbic acid | 4. | Gibberellic acid |
Which of the following is not a use of plant PGR ethylene?
| 1. | Initiation of flowering and synchronizing fruit set in pineapples. |
| 2. | Induction of flowering in mango. |
| 3. | Ethephon, most common source of ethylene, hastens fruit ripening in tomatoes. |
| 4. | Induction of parthenocarpy in tomatoes. |

The ratio of cytokinins to auxin controls cell differentiation in a callus, if:
| I. | Auxin levels increase shoot buds develop from the callus |
| II. | Cytokinins level increase, roots form |
| 1. | Only I is correct |
| 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct |
| 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
