Which function is not correctly matched with the appropriate phytohormone?
Options
- AApical hook formation in dicot seedlings: Ethylene
- BIncrease in the length of grapes stalks: Gibberellin
- CInduction of parthenocarpy in tomato: Auxin
- DPrevention of nutrient mobilization: Cytokinin
Correct answer
D. Prevention of nutrient mobilization: Cytokinin
Step-by-step solution
Cytokinins promote nutrient mobilisation, which helps in the delay of leaf senescence. The ability of gibberellins to cause an increase in length of axis is used to increase the length of grapes stalks. Auxin is used to induce parthenocarpy in tomato. Ethylene stimulates apical hook formation in dicot seedlings.
