Q. No.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
3. Para-ascorbic acid
4. Gibberellic acid
Inhibitory substances in dormant seeds cannot be removed by subjecting seeds to:
1. Gibberellic acid
2. Nitrate
3. Ascorbic acid
4. Chilling conditions
Match the following concerning the activity/function and the phytohormone involved:
| Column I | Column II | ||
| (a) | Fruit ripener | (i) | Abscisic acid |
| (b) | Herbicide | (ii) | GA 3 |
| (c) | Bolting agent | (iii) | 2, 4-D |
| (d) | Stress hormone | (iv) | Ethephon |
Select the correct option from following:
| Options: | (a) | (b) | (c) | (d) |
| 1. | (ii) | (iii) | (iv) | (i) |
| 2. | (iii) | (iv) | (ii) | (i) |
| 3. | (iv) | (iii) | (ii) | (i) |
| 4. | (iv) | (ii) | (i) | (iii) |
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. |
Which one of the following generally acts as an antagonist to Gibberellins?
1. Ethylene
2. ABA
3. IAA
4. Zeatin
One of the commonly used plant growth hormone in tea plantations is:
| 1. | Abscisic acid | 2. | Zeatin |
| 3. | Indole-3- acetic acid | 4. | Ethylene |
