Assertion (A): | Spraying sugarcane crops with gibberellins increase the yield by as much as 20 tonnes per acre. |
Reason (R): | Sugarcane stores carbohydrates such as sugar in their stems. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
In most seeds, the ratio of which of the following pair of PGRs determines whether the embryo remains dormant or germinates?
1. | ABA and GA | 2. | Auxin and Cytokinin |
3. | Auxin and GA | 4. | ABA and Cytokinin |
It is thought that the selective breeding (albeit unconscious) of crop strains that were the key drivers of the "green revolution" in the 1960s were deficient in the synthesis of:
1. ABA
2. Gibberellins
3. Auxins
4. Cytokinins
Column A | Column B | ||
1. | Auxins | A. | Stimulate cell division and growth of lateral buds |
2. | Cytokinins | B. | Promote stem elongation and fruit growth |
3. | Gibberellins | C. | Promote cell enlargement and stem elongation |
Statement I: | Cytokinins help to initiate rooting in stem cuttings during plant propagation. |
Statement II: | In most cases, ABA acts as a synergist to Gibberellins. |
1. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. |
2. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. |
3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
4. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect |
To promote stem elongation, gibberellins act in concert with:
1. | Auxins | 2. | Cytokinins |
3. | Ethylene | 4. | ABA |
