Free Plant Growth And Development (Daily Quiz: 5) Time:

Question-1

The photoperiod in plants is perceived at

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (d)

A typical photoperiod exposure is the requirement of the plants for flowering however, for some plants it is not necessary.

Photoperiodism is the effect of light and its duration on the growth and development especially flowering in plants.

Even a single leaf or its part is capable of inducing photoperiodism but very young leaves are insensitive tolight. Other parts meristem flower and floral buds do not perceive the stimulus.


Question-2

The photoperiod in plants is perceived at

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-3

The regulator which retards ageing/senescence of plant parts is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

Richmond and Lang, 1967 observed that degradation of protein and chlorophyll was delayed in the detached leaves, if there was cytokinin in the medium. The senescence in the detached leaves was controlled by cytokinin first by keeping the stomata open thus allowing more $CO_2$ to enter. This suppresses the action of ethylene which promotes senescence.


Question-4

Which of the following statements are correct ?
  1. Cytokinins promote senescence.
  2. Auxins control apical dominance.
  3. Gibberellins promote shoot elongation.
  4. Abscissic acid enables seeds to withstand desiccation.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (d)

Cytokinin delays senescence of leaves and other organs by preventing drainage of nutrients, checking degradation of photosynthetic pigments proteins and nucleic acids.


Question-5

Auxin was first isolated from ________

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)
