Question

Spraying of which of the following phytohormone on juvenile conifers helps in hastening the maturity period, that leads to early seed production?

Options

• Gibberellic Acid

• Zeatin

• Abscisic Acid

• Indole-3-butyric Acid

Answer 1

Gibberellic Acid

Explanation:

When gibberellic acid is sprayed on juvenile conifers, it accelerates maturity, leading to earlier seed production. It is a plant hormone that plays a significant role in seed germination and flowering. Spraying this hormone helps break dormancy, promote cell elongation, and promote early seed germination by acting as a chemical messenger.
