2. vernalization
3. phototropism
4. pruning.
“Foolish seedling" disease of rice led to the discovery of:-

Which one of the following pairs, is not correctly matched?
1. Abscisic acid - Stomatal closure
2. Gibberellic acid - Leaf fall

An enzyme that can stimulate germination of barley seeds is:-

How does pruning help in making the hedge dense:-
1. | It induces the differentiation of new shoots from the rootstock |
2. | It frees axillary buds from apical dominance |
3. | The apical Shoot grows faster after pruning |
4. | It releases wound hormones |

2. They are the same as long day plants.
3. They do not have a critical photoperiod.
4. All of these.
Vernalization is the process of
1. flower induction by high temperature treatment
2. inhabitation of flowering by low temperature treatment
3. flower induction by light treatment
4. acceleration of the ability of a plant to produce flowers by chilling treatment
Phytochromes play a role in
