glycoprotein
lipoprotein
chromoprotein
Parthenocarpic tomato fruits can be produced by:
removing androecium of flowers before pollen grains are released
treating the plants with low concentrations of gibberellic acid and auxins
raising the plants from vernalised seeds
treating the plants with phenylmercuric acetate
An enzyme that can stimulate germination of barley seeds is:

It takes very long time for pineapple plants to produce flowers. Which combination of hormones can be applied to artificially induce flowering in pineapple plants throughout the year to increase yield?
Cytokinin and Abscisic acid
Auxin and Ethylene
Gibberellin and Cytokinin
Gibberellin and Abscisic acid
What is the site of perception of photoperiod necessary for induction of flowering in plants?
Leaves
Lateral buds
Pulvinus
Shoot apex
The phytohormone which is supposed to be one of the factor responsible for regulating the opening and closing of stomata:
ABA
GA
IBA
Kinetin
When a plant is flooded it often increases its production of
cytokines
ethylene
gibberellins
all of the above
The plant hormone, _______________ , plays a role in closing of stomata.
auxin
Cytokinin
gibberellin
Removal of shoot tips is a very useful technique to boost the production of tea- leaves. This is because
Gibberellins prevent bolting and are inactivated.
Auxins prevent leaf drop at early stages.
Effect of auxins is removed and growth of lateral buds is enhanced.
Gibberellins delay senescence of leaves.
In order to increase the yield of sugarcane crop, which of the following plant growth regulators should be sprayed ?

Which of the following is not an inhibitory substance governing seed dormancy?
Abscisic acid
Phenolic acid
Para-ascorbic acid
Gibberellic acid
Name the plant growth regulator which upon spraying on sugarcane crop, increases the length of stem, thus increasing the yield of sugarcane crop.
Gibberellin
Who coined the term 'Kinetin'?
Skoog and Miller
Darwin
Went
Kurosawa
