Auxin can be bioassayed by?
1. Avena coleoptiles curvature
2. Hydroponics
3. Ptometer
4. Lettuce hypocotyl elongation
What causes a green plant exposed to the light on only one side, to bend toward the source of light as it grows?
1. | Green plants need light to perform photosynthesis |
2. | Green plants seek light because they are phototropic |
3. | Light stimulates plant cells on the lighted side to grow faster |
4. | Auxin accumulates on the shaded side, stimulating greater cell elongation there |
Dr. F. Went noted that if coleoptile tips were removed and placed on agar for one hour, the agar would produce a bending when placed on one side of freshly - cut coleoptile stumps. What is the significance of this experiment?
1. | It made possible the isolation and exact identification of auxin. |
2. | It is the basis for the quantitative determination of small amounts of growth-promoting substances. |
3. | It supports the hypothesis that IAA is auxin. |
4. | It demonstrates the polar movements of auxins. |
Phototropic curvature is the result of uneven distribution of:
1. gibberellin
2. phytochrome
3. cytokinins
4. auxin
One of the commonly used plant growth hormone in tea plantations is:
1. | Abscisic acid | 2. | Zeatin |
3. | Indole-3- acetic acid | 4. | Ethylene |
Root development is promoted by:
1. Auxin
2. Gibberellin
3. Ethylene
4. Abscisic acid
One of the synthetic auxin is:
1. NAA
2. IAA
3. GA
4. IBA
