Options
- AIndole compound
- BAdenine derivative
- CCarotenoid derivative
- DTerpene
Correct answer
B. Adenine derivative
Step-by-step solution
The plant growth regulators (PGRs) are small, simple molecules of diversechemical composition . They could be indole compounds (indole-3-acetic acid, IAA); adenine derivatives (N6 -furfurylamino purine, kinetin), derivatives of carotenoids (abscisic acid, ABA); terpenes (gibberellic acid, GA3) or gases (ethylene, C2H4)
