Question

For which of the following, a phytohormone which increases the production of starch hydrolyzing enzymes during the germination of maize seed, is employed?

• A. Increasing the vase - life period of flowers
• B. Induction of seedless fruits in grapes
• C. Acceleration of ripening of banana fruits
• D. Eradication of dicot weeds

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Induction of seedless fruits in grapes

Giberellin is a phytohormone which increases the production of starch hydrolyzing enzymes during the germination of maize . It also accounts for the production of seedless fruits in grapes. GAs are plant hormones which regulate growth and influence various developmental processes including stem elongation, germination, dormancy, flowering, sex expression and enzyme induction

So, the correct answer is 'Induction of seedless fruits in grapes'
