Question

Which of the following is an adenine derivative?

• A. Indole-3-acetic acid
• B. $N^6$-furfurylamino purine
• C. Abscisic acid
• D. Ethylene

Answer 1

The correct option is B $N^6$-furfurylamino purine

$N^6$-furfurylamino purine is an adenine derivative. It is a type of plant growth regulator. These plant growth regulators are simple and small chemical molecules that regulate the growth of the plants. Indole compounds, adenine derivatives, derivatives of carotenoids, gases are different classes of organic compounds under which various plant growth regulators have been categorized.
