Which plant growth regulator is largely an inhibitor of growth activities?
Options
- AGibberellins
- BCytokinins
- CAuxins
- DEthylene
Correct answer
D. Ethylene
Step-by-step solution
The PGRs of the other group play an important role in plant responses to wounds and stresses of biotic and abiotic origin. They are also involved in various growth inhibiting activities such as dormancy and abscission. The PGR abscisic acid belongs to this group. The gaseous PGR, ethylene, could fit either of the groups, but it is largely an inhibitor of growth activities.
