Which of the following option shows a pair of antagonist phytohormones with respect to the given feature?
Options
- AParthenocarpy: Auxin antagonist to Gibberellin
- BAbscission: Ethylene antagonist to Abscisic acid
- CSeed Germination: Gibberellin antagonist to Abscisic acid
- DSenescence: Gibberellin antagonist to Cytokinin
Correct answer
C. Seed Germination: Gibberellin antagonist to Abscisic acid
Step-by-step solution
Both auxin and gibberellin can promote parthenocarpy. Both ethylene and abscisic acid promote abscission. Both gibberellin and cytokinin delay senescence. However, gibberellin promotes seed germination while Abscisic acid inhibits seed germination. Thus, they are antagonistic.
