The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Gibberellins**: - Gibberellins are plant growth regulators that play a crucial role in various growth processes in plants, such as stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering. 2. **Identifying the Disease**: - The question asks for the disease associated with the discovery of gibberellins. The disease in question is known as "Bacne disease" or "foolish seedling disease." 3. **Cause of the Disease**: - This disease primarily affects rice seedlings and is caused by a fungal pathogen known as *Gibberella fujikuroi*. 4. **Linking the Disease to Gibberellins**: - The fungus *Gibberella fujikuroi* produces gibberellins, which are responsible for the abnormal growth observed in infected rice seedlings, leading to the name "foolish seedlings." 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the disease associated with the discovery of gibberellins is the "foolish seedling disease" caused by the fungus *Gibberella fujikuroi*. ### Final Answer: The disease accounted with the discovery of Gibberellins is the "foolish seedling disease" (Bacne disease). ---
