One hormone hastens maturity period in juvenile conifers, a second hormone controls xylem differentiation, while the third hormone increases the tolerance of plants to various stresses. They are respectively
Gibberellin, Auxin, Ethylene
Auxin, Gibberellin, Cytokinin
Gibberellin, Auxin, ABA
Auxin, Gibberellin, ABA
Gibberellins can promote seed germination because of their influence on
rate of cell division
production of hydrolysing enzymes
synthesis of abscisic acid
absorption of water through hard seed coat.
Assertion: Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are very important for plant growth and development.
Reason: Auxins do not induce flowering in gymnosperms
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

If both assertion and reason are false.
Assertion: A correct concentration of auxin and cytokinin is required for the development of root and shoot in a callus.
Reason: When the ratio of kinetin to auxin is high, then only shoots develop. But when the ratio is low then only roots develop.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Vernalisation is subjected to plants growing in
tropical areas
sub tropical areas
temperate areas
hot areas/arctic region.
C.
temperate areas
Vernalization is the induction of a plant's flowering process by exposure to the prolonged cold of winter, or by an artificial equivalent. After vernalization, plants have acquired the ability to flower, but they may require additional seasonal cues or weeks of growth before they will actually flower.
Many temperate plants have vernalisation requirement and must experience a period of low temperature in winter, to initiate or accelerate flowering process, or in many fruit tree species, to induce dormancy and then break dormancy prior to flowering.
The phenomenon that operates in the formation of root or shoot in a callus culture is
differentiation
re-differentiation
de-differentiation
re-juvenation

Bt genes
RNAi genes
Cry genes
Endogeneous cytoplasmic defence genes
Switch
