Identify the plant growth regulator that, though is largely an inhibitor but, can be placed in both plant growth promoter and plant growth inhibitor groups?
1. | Auxins | 2. | Gibberellins |
3. | Ethylene | 4. | Abscisic acid |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
Scientist | PGR discovery | |
1. | Cousins | Ethylene |
2. | Kurosawa | Gibberellin |
3. | Skoog and Miller | ABA |
4. | F. W. Went | Auxin |
Normally, when the seeds are mature, ethylene production increases and builds-up within the fruit, resulting in a climactic event that means:
1. | A sudden spurt of growth | 2. | Leaf expansion |
3. | Rise in respiratory rate | 4. | Death of radicle |
Which PGR is used to initiate flowering and for synchronizing fruit set in pineapple?
1. | Cytokinin | 2. | ABA |
3. | Ethylene | 4. | GA |
Match the following :
A. | IAA | i. | Herring sperm DNA |
B. | ABA | ii. | Bolting |
C. | Ethylene | iii. | Stomatal closure |
D. | GA | iv. | Weed-free lawns |
E. | Cytokinins | v. | Ripening of fruits |
Options:
A | B | C | D | E | |
1. | iv | iii | v | ii | i |
2. | v | iii | iv | ii | i |
3. | iv | i | v | iii | ii |
4. | v | iii | ii | i | iv |
1. | ABA | 2. | IAA |
3. | Ethylene | 4. | GA |
1. | Vertical growth of seedlings |
2. | Swelling of axis of dicot seedlings |
3. | Apical hook formation in dicot seedlings |
4. | Fruit ripening |
I: | The most widely used compound as source of ethylene is ethephon. |
II: | Ethephon in an aqueous solution is readily absorbed and transported within the plant and releases ethylene slowly. |
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 |
1. | induce flowering in mango |
2. | hasten fruit ripening in tomatoes and apples |
3. | retard abscission of flowers and fruits in cotton cherry and walnut |
4. | promote female flowers in cucumbers |
