Telegraph plant (Desmodium gyrans) exhibit autonomic curvature.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Telegraph Plant**: The telegraph plant, scientifically known as Desmodium gyrans, is commonly referred to as the dancing plant due to its unique movements. 2. **Defining Autonomic Curvature**: Autonomic curvature refers to the spontaneous movement of plant parts, particularly leaves or leaflets, in response to environmental stimuli without the involvement of external forces. 3. **Movement Characteristics**: In the case of Desmodium gyrans, it exhibits two types of movements: - **Upward Movement**: The lateral leaflets of the plant move upwards. ...

A plotted plant is growing in a transparent glass jar. In this plant, X and Y are the two growing parts having a lot of meristematic tissue. It is observed that the part X of this plant exhibits positive geotropism but negative phototropism. On the other hand, part Y of this plant exhibits negative geotropism but positive phototropism.

(e) Which phytochormone causes the part X to exhibit negative phototropism?

Make corrections wherever you find mistake in spellings/words in the following parapraphs/sentences. (A) During the period of senescence, a gradual addition occurs in the structure and functioning of an organ or organism which is characterised by the accumulation of active metabolic materials and increase in dry weight. (B) When the movement of curvature is produced by diffused stimuli and affects the whole plant uniformly, it is of tropic type. If the curvature is produced by directional mutimuli and does not affect the whole plant, it is of nastic type. (C) Shoot elongation in some dwarf varieties and barley endosperm test are used as bioassays for auxins and Avena curvature test is used as bioassay for ethylene.
