Q31 / 180 · NEET 2013 (All India) · Botany

During seed germination its stored food is mobilised by

  • A
    ethylene
  • B
    cytokinin
  • C
    ABA
  • Correct answer
    D
    gibberellin

Solution

Gibberellin induces aleurone cells to secrete enzyme to break stored food in seed. Cytokinines promote nutrient mabilisation, which helps in the delay of leaf senescence. ABA plays an important role in seed development, maturation and dormancy. Ethylene induces fruit ripening, breaks seed dormancy,

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
