The PGR used to induce parthenocarpy in tomatoes is:-
1. Auxin
2. Gibberellin
3. Cytokinin
4. ABA
Fruit and leaf drop at early stages can be prevented by the application of
1. Cytokinins
2. ethylene
3. auxins
4. gibberellic acid
The Avena curvature is used for bioassay of
1. GA3
2. IAA
3. Ethylene
4. ABA
Auxin can be bioassayed by
1. Avena coleoptile curvature
2. hydroponics
3. potometer
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. Of what significance is this experiment?
| 1. | It made possible the isolation and exact identification of auxin. |
| 2. | It is the basis for quantitative determination of small amounts of growth-promoting substances |
| 3. | It demonstrated polar movement of auxins |
| 4. | It supports the hypothesis that IAA is auxin |
Phototropic curvature is the result of uneven distribution of.
1. gibberellin
2. phytochrome
3. cytokinins
4. auxin
One of the synthetic auxin is
1. NAA
2. IAA
3. GA
4. IBA
How does pruning help in making the hedge dense:-
| 1. | It induces the differentiation of new shoots from the rootstock |
| 2. | It frees axillary buds from apical dominance |
| 3. | The apical Shoot grows faster after pruning |
| 4. | It releases wound hormones |
Parthenocarpy in grapes is induced by:-
1. cytokinins
2. gibberellins
3. topoisomerases
4. primase
