Question

Buds occuring on the nodes outside the leaf bases are

Answer 1

The correct option is B Extra-axillary

A. Axillary buds are the embryonic shoots located on the axil of the leaf. They have the potential to grow into a shoot.

B. Extra-axillary buds are formed on other parts of the stem or the nodes of the leaf base.

C. Terminal buds are formed at the tip of the stem which is apical in position.

D. Cauline buds arise from the aerial parts of the stem.

So the correct answer is 'Extra-axillary'.
