Which one of the following is a phenolic hormone?

  1. Kinetin

  2. Gibberellic acid

  3. Coumarin

  4. Florigen


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Coumarin is a phenolic hormone.

Which one of the following is a natural auxin?

  1. 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid

  2. Indole-3-pyruvic acid

  3. Naphthalene acetic acid

  4. Indole-3-acetic acid


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is a natural auxin known as auxin-b.

Which hormone is used to produce new shoots and plants from callus?

  1. Gibberellins

  2. Auxin

  3. Cytokinin

  4. Ethylene


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

By adding auxin and sugar, continued growth of callus may be obtained and new shoots and even new plants can be produced from the callus.

What is auxanometer used for?

  1. Measuring the rate of transpiration

  2. Measuring the growth of a plant

  3. Measuring photosynthesis

  4. To measure variable fluorescence of photosystem II


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Auxonometer is used to measure the growth of a plant.

Which substance was used by Boysen Jensen to prove that some substance migrates down the dark side promoting growth curvature towards light?

  1. Agar

  2. Tin foil

  3. Mica

  4. Excised tips


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mica pieces were used by Boysen Jensen in his experiment.

2,4-D is used as a/an

  1. pesticide

  2. insecticide

  3. weedicide

  4. fungicide


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

2,4-D destroys broad leaved weeds and is used as a weedicide.

Which amino acid is required for natural synthesis of Indole-3-acetic acid?

  1. Phenylalanine

  2. Tyrosine

  3. Tryptophan

  4. Proline


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

IAA is the universal natural auxin synthesised in shoot apices, leaf primordia and developing seeds from tryptophan.

The phenomenon of apical dominance is exhibited by

  1. Gibberellins

  2. Auxin

  3. Cytokinins

  4. Abscisic acid


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Apical dominance is exhibited by auxins as their presence in the tip stimulates the growth of apical bud, but suppresses the growth of lateral buds.

Which of the following is/are the physiological role(s) of gibberellins?

  1. Conversion of dwarf plants into normal plants

  2. Parthenocarpic development of fruits

  3. Both options 1 and 2

  4. Weed control


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Gibberellins function in both conversion of dwarf plants into normal plants and Parthenocarpic development of fruits.

Who were the first scientists to isolate gibberellin in crystal form?

  1. Kurosawa

  2. Yabuta and Sumiki

  3. Cross et. al.

  4. Macmillan and others


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Gibberellin was first isolated in 1935 in crystal form by Teijiro Yabuta and Sumuki, from fungal strains (Gibberella fujikuroi) provided by Kurosawa.

Which of the following hormones promotes cell division?

  1. Auxins

  2. Gibberellins

  3. Cytokinin

  4. Abscisic acid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cytokinins promote cell division.

Which of the following sentences about auxins is incorrect?

  1. Auxins promote root initiation.

  2. Auxins induce the formation and organisation of phloem and xylem.

  3. Auxins are required for fruit growth and development, and they delay fruit senescence.

  4. Auxins promotes abscission and cause early formation of abscission layer.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Auxins inhibit abscission prior to formation of abscission layer. Thus, they inhibit senescence of leaves.

Choose the incorrect match.

  1. Morphogenesis - Cytokinins and auxins

  2. Richmond Lang effect - Cytokinin

  3. Breaking seed dormancy - Abscisic acid

  4. Apical dominance - Auxins


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Abscisic acid causes dormancy of seeds.

Cytokinins work in association with

  1. gibberellins

  2. auxins

  3. ethylene

  4. florigen


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cytokinins never work alone. In the presence of auxins, they stimulate cell division.
