Ethephon hastens the fruit ripening in tomatoes and apple and accelerates abscission in flowers and fruits. Above statement indicates that ethephon must release –
1. ABA
2. C2H4
3. IAA
4. GA7
The phytohormone which promotes rapid internode elongation in deep water rice plant is
1. | Gibberellins | 2. | Ethylene |
3. | Auxin | 4. | Cytokinin |
How many of the following can help in breaking seed dormancy?
1. Changing the environmental condition like light & temperature.
2. Application of GA3 or nitrates.
3. Chilling condition.
4. All the above
In a flowering plant if auxins are not synthesizing, then effects which would most probably be seen in this plant are
i | Dropping of fruits at early stage. |
ii | Inhibition in the growth of lateral buds. |
iii | Delayed abscission of older mature leaves. |
iv | Inhibition of cell division in cambium. |
1. | i, ii and iv |
2. | i, iii and iv |
3. | ii and iv only |
4. | i and iii only |
Select the correct match
1. | Auxin | – Promote seed dormancy |
2. | Cytokinin | – Overcoming apical dominance |
3. | Ethylene | – Bolting in beet |
4. | GA3 | – Thinning of cherry and walnut |
Removal of shoot tips is a very useful technique to boost the production of tea leaves. This is because:
1. | Gibberellins prevent bolting and are inactivated. |
2. | Auxins prevent leaf drop at early stages. |
3. | Effect of auxins is removed and the growth of lateral buds is enhanced. |
4. | Gibberellins delay the senescence of leaves. |
In order to increase the yield of sugarcane crops, which of the following plant growth regulators should be sprayed?
1. | Ethylene | 2. | Auxins |
3. | Gibberellins | 4. | Cytokinins |
What conditions are required for vernalisation in
plants?
1. Low temperature, CO2.
2. Low temperature, O2, leaf.
3. Optimum temperature, O2.
4. Low temperature, O2.
A. | _______ hormone is most widely used PGR in agriculture. |
B. | _______ hormone is related with Richmond Lang effect. |
A | B | |
1. | Auxin | CK |
2. | Auxin | GA |
3. | Ethylene | CK |
4. | ABA | CK |
