Solution

The correct option is B Boysen - Jennsen and Darwin
Classical experiments on growth were performed by Boysen - Jennsen and Darwin. The existence of first plant growth hormone came from the work of Darwin. They found that bending movement of coleoptile of canary grass was due to exposure of tip to unilateral light. Boysen - Jennsen found that the tip produces a chemical which was later named auxin. Darwin's findings on plants have been published as a book in the name of 'The power of movements in plants.
