During drought, plants develop hormone
-
Indole acetic acid
-
Naphthalene acetic acid
-
Indolebutyric acid
-
Abscisic acid
-
Ethylene
Stress hormone is a hormone produced during adverse environmental conditions. Abscisic acid (ABA) is called as stress hormone. Due to this hormone, plants respond to stresses conditions like cold, drought. It increases the tolerance of plants toward various stresses. It is found in high concentration in roots during drought and later translocated to leaves. It causes stomatal closure during water stress. It also promotes seed dormancy under adverse condition.
Which one is wrongly matched?
-
Auxins - to grow
-
Gibberellins - Gibberella fujikuroi
-
Cytokinins - Herring sperm DNA
-
ABA - flowering hormone
-
Ethylene - gas hormone
Auxin is a plant hormone that is involved in growth and development of plant. Kinetin, a type of cytokinin was isolated from autoclaved herring sperm DNA by Miller and Skoog. Gibberellin hormone was first isolated from fungus Gibberella fujikuroi. Ethylene is a gaseous hormone which helps in ripening process and hence also called as ripening hormone. ABA is responsible for abscission of leaves, fruits and flowers. Florigen is a flowering hormone that is responsible for flowering in certain plants.
Leaf abscission is brought about by
-
Auxin
-
Cytokinin
-
Gibberellin
-
ABA
Leaf abscission is a detachment or fall of older leaves.It occurs at the base of the petiole. During abscission, high synthesize of abscisic acid is observed along with decrease in the concentration of auxin. ABA loosens the cell wall and cells separate which ultimately leads to leaf abscission.
Hormone antagonistic to ABA is
-
Gibberellin
-
Auxin
-
Ethylene
-
Cytokinin
Abscisic acid is a plant hormone. It causes abscission of leaves. It induces dormancy of seed under unfavorable condition. Gibberellin is a plant hormone that is an antagonist to the abscisic acid hormone. It regulates plant growth. It stimulates stem elongation, germination, flowering. it breaks the seed dormancy and initiates germination process.
Which one demonstrates process associated with abscission of a leaf?
-
In the leaf concentration of both auxin and ABA decreases
-
In the leaf concentration of both auxin and ABA increases
-
Reduction in ABA concentration and increase of auxin concentration in the leaf
-
Reduction in concentration of auxin and increase of concentration of ABA in the leaf
Hormone antagonist to gibberellins is
-
IAA
-
ABA
-
Zeatin
-
Ethylene
Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following statements is false?
-
Auxins and gibberellins promote stem elongation.
-
Cytokinins promote cell division but retard leaf ageing
-
Abscisic acid promotes water loss and dormancy
-
Ethylene promotes fruit ripening and abscission
ABA helps seeds to withstand desiccation and other factors unfavorable for growth.
Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following plant hormones is called the stress hormone because it produces dormancy in seeds and buds?
-
Abscisic acid
-
Auxin
-
Cytokinin
-
Ethylene
Abscisic acid inhibits seed germination and stimulates the closure of stomata in the epidermis and increases the tolerance of plants to various kinds of stresses. Therefore, it is also called the stress hormone.
Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Abscisic acid is derived from
-
carotene
-
methionine
-
ethylene
-
amatene
The C15 backbone of ABA is formed after cleavage of C40 Carotenoids.
Seed dormancy is caused by ______________.
-
$C _2H _4$
-
ABA
-
IAA
-
$GA _3$.
Seed dormancy is mainly caused by ABA. Dormancy allows seeds to tolerate desiccation and extremes of temperature better. Due to its action of inducing dormancy in seeds, buds etc. ABA is also called as dormin.
