On germination a speed first produces shoots with leaves , flowers apperar late
A. why do you thin this happens?
B.How is this advantageous to the plant?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A. As soon as seed germinaltes the plant enters into vegatative growth period .This period takes light stimulus (a critical length of light exposed to different plant i.e phtoperiod) andsynthesise the florigen (a flowering hormone ) which induce flowering
B. The vegetative growth period prepares the plant to belar preproductive structures like flower fruits and seed s adn allows it to grow mature and reproduce

Gaseous fuels due to their advantages over ther types of fuels are becoming highly popular . The advantages to the gaseous fuels are as follows : a. High calorific value . b. Do not produce smoke and do not leave ash after combustion . c. They can flow through pipes and can be ignite at a moment's notice at any place . No special devices are required for their combustion . i. Coal gas is a good gaseous fuel as it contains 95^5 combustible gaseous such as H_2, CH_4, CO etc , It is obtained buy destructive distillation of coal at 100^@ C . ii. Water gas is a mixture of CO and H_2 and is prepared by passing steam over incandescnt coke . The reaction is endothermic . iii.

Read the given statements and identify the plant hormones X,Y and Z. (i) Hormone Y induces flowering in mango and also promotes rapid internode/petiole elongation in deep water rice plants and hence helping leaves or upper part of shoot to remain above water. (ii) Hormone X promotes root growth and root hair formation. (iii) Hormone Z inhibits the seed germination, increases the tolerance of plant to various stresses, play important role in seed development, maturation and dormancy.
