AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To induce rooting in a twig, the appropriate plant growth regulator to use is auxin. Here’s a step-by-step explanation: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Purpose**: The question asks for a plant growth regulator that can induce rooting in a twig. This means we need to identify which hormone is responsible for promoting root development. 2. **Identify Plant Growth Regulators**: There are several plant growth regulators (hormones) that play different roles in plant growth and development. The main ones include: - Auxins - Gibberellins - Cytokinins - Ethylene - Abscisic Acid 3. **Focus on Rooting**: Among these hormones, auxins are specifically known to promote root formation. They are often used in horticulture to encourage root development in cuttings. 4. **Eliminate Other Options**: - Ethylene is known for promoting fruit ripening. - Cytokinins are involved in cell division and delaying senescence (aging). - Gibberellins promote stem elongation and seed germination. - Abscisic acid is primarily involved in stress responses and stomatal closure. 5. **Conclusion**: Since auxin is the hormone that induces rooting, the answer to the question is auxin. ### Final Answer: **Auxin** is the plant growth regulator used to induce rooting in a twig.
