Name the plant growth regulator which upon spraying on sugarcane crop, increases the length of stem, thus increasing the yield of sugarcane crop.
1. Gibberellin
2. Ethylene
3. Abscisic acid
4. Cytokinin
Which of the following is not an inhibitory substance governing seed dormancy?
1. Abscisic acid
2. Phenolic acid

Inhibitory substances in dormant seeds cannot be removed by subjecting seeds to:
1. Gibberellic acid
2. Nitrate
3. Ascorbic acid
4. Chilling conditions

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 |
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. |
The plant hormone used to destroy weeds in a field is:
1. 2, 4-D
2. IBA
3. IAA
4. NAA
Plants follow different pathways in response to environment or phases of life to form different kinds of structures. This ability is called:
1. | Plasticity | 2. | Maturity |
3. | Elasticity | 4. | Flexibility |
The site of perception of light in plants during photoperiodism is:
1. Axillary bud
2. Leaf
3. Shoot apex
4. Stem
