Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
Dormancy of plants occurs in relation to abscisic acid.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Dormancy is the period when the physiological activities of the plant slow down for some time. Abscisic acid is a stress hormone that is responsible for the protection of plants in drought conditions. They are generally growth inhibitors and are also called as dormants. They are mainly responsible for the bud dormancy at the time of winter season and also cause seed dormancy and protect it from desiccation.

So, the correct statement is 'True'.
