In some gymnospermic plants only

B

In long day plants under short day conditions

C

In short day plants under long day conditions

D

In day neutral plants under dark conditions

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Short day plants are those that when exposed to day length shorter than a certain critical minimum. No effect of GA on flowering. However, if the plant is transferred to long day contain Gibberellin induces flowering.

Gibberellic acid has been successfully employed to induce flowering

[A] : Gibberellic acid , when added to isolated aleurone , induce amylase activity [R] : The enzyme amylase converts insoluble starch into soluble sugars

[A]: Gibberellic acid when added to isolated aleurone layer, induces alfa-amylase activity. It acts at gene level. [R]: GA may act at the gene level or just acti- vates the inactive enzyme or interact to re- move enzyme inhibitor.
