Common cause of seed and bud dormancy is the presence of
The correct option is A Abscisic acid
Dormancy is defined as the condition of seed when it fails to
germinate even though the environment conditions, usually considered favorable
for active growth, are present.
A. Ethylene serves as a hormone in plants. It acts at trace
levels throughout the life of the plant by stimulating or regulating the
ripening of fruit, the opening of flowers, and the abscission (or shedding) of leaves.
B. Cytokinins are plant hormones that cause
increased cell division by
stimulating the process of mitosis.
C. Abscisic acid owes its name to its role in the abscission
of plant leaves. In preparation
for winter, ABA is produced in terminal buds. This slows plant growth and directs leaf primordia to
develop scales to protect the dormant buds during the cold season.
So, the correct answer is 'Abscisic acid'.
