A: If a plant is kept horizontally, auxin accumulates on a lower surface.
R: Displacement of statoliths and other cell organelles to lower surface modifies the translocation pattern of auxin.
A: Only buds or embryos can be vernalized.

A: Phytochrome, a protein, has a regulatory function.
R: Various morphogenetic processes are regulated by it.
A: Auxins treatment causes acidification of cell wall and helps in cell elongation.
R: Loosening of cell wall microfibrils occurs.
A: Cytokinins are anti-ageing hormones.
R: They cause changes in osmotic potential by increasing the volume of mature cells.
A: Gibberellic acid increases the yield of malt from barley grain.
R: Gibberellins stimulate the synthesis of amylase, protease and other hydrolytic enzymes for mobilisation of reserve food.
A: 2, 4-D is widely used by farmers in agricultural and horticultural practices.
R: Flowering in most plants can be initiated by using high concentration of Auxin.
A: Cytokinin, along with the auxin, is required for morphogenesis.
R: More cytokinin to auxin ratio promote root initiation during micropropagation.
A: Seeds do not sprout when Gibberellins overcome ABA.
R: GA inhibits protein and RNA synthesis.
A: Soyabean and sugar beet flower when exposed to a photoperiod shorter than a critical period.
R: Most winter flowering plants are LDP.
