Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
Ethylene stimulates leaf release, while auxin keeps leaves from falling.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Ethylene is a gaseous hormone which stimulates the transverse growth but inhibits the longitudinal growth. Auxin delays the abscission of young leaves and provides nutrition to it so that they do not die down while ethylene increases the senescence of leaves and flowers and produces more gas which leads to loss of leaves.

So, the correct statement is 'True'.
