To promote stem elongation, gibberellins act in concert with:
1. | Auxins | 2. | Cytokinins |
3. | Ethylene | 4. | ABA |
I: | Spraying sugarcane crop with gibberellins increases the yield by as much as 20 tonnes per acre. |
II: | Sugarcane stores carbohydrates as sugar in their stems and spraying sugarcane crop with gibberellins increases the length of the stem. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | I is correct but II is incorrect |
4. | I is incorrect but II is correct |
I: | They can be used to increase the length of grape stalks. |
II: | They can elongate and improve the shape of apple. |
III: | They speed up malting process in brewing industry. |
IV: | They hasten the maturity period of juvenile conifers. |
V: | They promote bolting in many plants with rosette habit. |
