Which of the following is not an action of ethylene?

1.	Induces leaf abscission
2.	Inhibits root hair growth - decreasing the efficiency of water and mineral absorption
3.	Induces the growth of adventitious roots during flooding
4.	Stimulates epinasty - leaf petiole grows out, leaf hangs down and curls into itself

1. Developmental noise
2. Norm of the reaction
3. Convergence

2. Terpene
3. Adenine derivative
4. Carotenoid

The PGR used to initiate flowering and for synchronizing fruit-set in pineapples is:

1. Abscisic acid
2. Cytokinin
3. Auxin
4. Ethylene
 

Cytokinin does not help in:

2. have no effect upon flowering.
3. inhibit flowering.
4. stimulate flowering.

Which of the following statements about plant hormones is false?

1. The growth of plants in nature is probably regulated by a combination of growth-stimulating and growth-inhibiting hormones.

2. Abscisic acid generally promotes growth.

3. Gibberellins stimulate cell enlargement.

4. Cytokinins promote cell division.
