What is apical dominance and how can it be removed?
Plant Growth and Development
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Auxins promote cell elongation and apical dominance. Gibberellins promote stem elongation and break seed dormancy. Cytokinins promote cell division and delay senescence. Abscisic acid closes stomata and induces dormancy. Ethylene ripens fruit and promotes abscission.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
The first three are chiefly growth promoters and the last two chiefly inhibitors, though ethylene does both.
