Internodal elongation is stimulated by:

Options

  1. AAuxin
  2. BEthylene
  3. CCytokinin
  4. DGibberellin

Correct answer

D. Gibberellin

Step-by-step solution

Gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) was one of the first gibberellins to be discovered and remains the most intensively studied form. All GAs are acidic. They produce a wide range of physiological responses in the plants. Their ability to cause an increase in length of axis is used to increase the length of grapes stalks. Gibberellins, cause fruits like apple to elongate and improve its shape. They also delay senescence. Thus, the fruits can be left on the tree longer so as to extend the market period. GA 3 is used to speed u
