Question

State whether the following statement is true or false.

Boron deficiency leads to the stout axis.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Boron deficiency:

1. Boron deficiency leads to the stout axis.
2. The part of the flower where the reproductive organs and other auxiliary organs are attached is known as the floral axis (also known as the receptacle).
3. We refer to an axis as a stout axis when it becomes hard.
4. In all higher plants, Boron is a micronutrient required in tiny amounts.
5. Its deficiency affects vegetation and causes a stout axis in crops and reproductive growth in plants.
6. As a result of the demise of the meristematic growing points, plants exhibit reduced growth.
7. This results in lesser leaf tip yellowing, reduced root elongation, tip mortality, and brittle foliage.
8. Fruiting and flowering have decreased.
9. Fruits that are developing become misshapen or malformed.
10. The stout axis in crops comes from the root and shoot failure.

Final answer: The given statement is true.
