Assertion : Gibberelins induce flowering in long day plants.
Reason : Genetically tall plantbecome dwarf by application of Gibberellin.

Options

A. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
B. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
C. If the assertion is true but the reason is false

Explanation

Gibberellin induce flowering in long day plants under unfavourable short day conditions. GA Helps in the induction of off-season flowering. Gibberellin especially induces the growth of inter-node it some genetically dwarf verities of plants like pea and maize. The dwarfism in such verities is due to the blocking of normal gibberellin production.
