Question

Do gibberellins promote senescence?

Answer 1

Gibberellins:

Gibberellins are plant growth regulators that affect a variety of developmental processes including stem elongation, germination, flowering, and enzyme induction.

Senescence:

1. The slow decline of functional properties of living organisms is known as senescence or biological aging.
2. No, Gibberellins do not cause aging.
3. Gibberellins improve fruit size and shape while delaying ripening and aging.
4. To prolong the market period, the fruit can be left on the tree for a longer period of time.
