The phenomenon of delay of senescence by cytokinins is known as

Pick out the correct statements. (i) Cytokinins specially help in delaying senescence. (ii) Auxins are involved in regulation apical dominance. (iii) Ethylene is specially useful in enhancing seed germination. (iv) Gibberellins are responsible for premature falling of leaves. Which of the above statements are correct?

[A]: Senescence is induced by the applica- tion of cytokinin in plants. [R]: Cytokinin promotes the breakdown of chlorophyll, proteins and nucleic acid.

Assertion : A correct concentration of auxin and cytokinin is required for the development of root and shoot in callus. Reason: When the ratio of kinetin to auxin is high only shoot develop but when the ratio is low only roots develop

A natural occurring class of plant hormones cytokinins has been found to help increase cotton yields during drought conditions. It has been observed that young cotton seedlings have small root system, making it difficult for them to reach available soil water. Cytokinins assists the young plants in water stress defences, promoting the plant to quickly build a bigger root system to access deep soil mosture. To be effective this phytohormone should be at an early stage of development. Which hormone is synthesized at the shoot - tip of plant body ?
