The hormone involved in metabolism of food material in cereals grain during germination is.
The hormone involved in metabolism of food material in cereals grain during germination is.
The correct option is C GA
Gibberellins, as growth promoting hormones, accelerate the rate of cellular metabolic pathways such as respiration, protein synthesis etc. During the germination of cereal grains, GA is known to promote mobilizing the food materials for the growing embryo. It plays a significant role in metabolizing lipids to glucose and then to sucrose through gluconeogenesis process. The promotive effect of GA on nitrogen metabolism and HMP pathway is very significant. GA is also known for its effect on membrane transformation through rapid turnover of lipids. Interestingly, GA also favor C3 pathway in C3 plants, but the same hormone adversely affects Hatch and Slack pathway in C4 plants. Thus GA exerts a wider influence on general metabolic pathways.
