Apical domina...

Question

Apical dominance phenomenon is caused by :

(a) auxins (b) GA

(c) cytokinins (d) ABA

Open in App

Solution

Apical dominance is thought to be caused by the apical bud producing IAA (auxin) in abundance. This auxin is transported basipetally from the apical bud. The auxin causes the lateral buds to remain dormant.
