The tea plants are never allowed to grow lengthwise. This is done by cutting their apical buds, a process known as pruning. In this way, tea plants get a dense growth and easy yield. Answer the following questions:
- Name the scientific phenomenon that is being overcome by pruning.
- What plant hormone is responsible for the scientific phenomenon mentioned in (a)?
- Name one plant hormone which inhibits the said phenomenon.
