Two different plants associated with discovery of two different phytohormones having commone biosynthetic precursor exhibit one of the following characters each
I. Versatile anthers II. Compound spadix III. Pentalocular ovary IV. Trifoliate compound leaves

A

II and III

B

I and III

C

II and IV

D

I and IV.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Two hormones with common biosynthetic precursor are gibberellin and abscisic acid. Gibberellin was discovered in connection with bakane disease of Rice (having versatile anther) while abscisic acid was discovered in connection with cotton (having 3-5 locular ovary).
