Question

Gibberellins are ______.

Options

• growth inhibitors

• growth promoters

• not concerned with growth at all

• of little potential in agriculture

Answer 1

Gibberellins are growth promoters.

Explanation:

Gibberellins are a vital class of naturally occurring plant growth regulators that primarily function to promote developmental processes. They stimulate cell division and internodal stem elongation, break seed and bud dormancy to trigger germination, and induce flowering in rosette plants. Because of these powerful constructive effects on plant growth, they possess immense potential and are widely utilised in commercial agriculture for tasks like increasing the stalk length of grapes and accelerating the malting process in brewing.
