gaseous hormone
Ethylene is thought of as the aging hormone in plants. In addition to causing fruit to ripen, it can cause plants to die. It can be produced when plants are injured, either mechanically or by disease. Ethylene gas is used commercially to ripen tomatoes, bananas, pears, and a few other fruits postharvest
The plants respond to photoperiods due to the presence of :
enzymes
stomata
phytochromes
phytohormones
'Climacteric' is

the condition of a plant when all its fruits are almost ripe

none of the above
Cork cambium results in the formation of cork which becomes impermeable to water due to the accumulation of
resins
lignins
suberin
tannins.
Avena curvature test is a bioassay for examining the activity of
auxins
cytokinins
gibberellins
ethylene.
Gibberellins can promote seed germination because of their influence on
rate of cell division
production of hydrolyzing enzymes
synthesis of abscisic acid
absorption of water through hard seed coat
Pruning of plants promotes branching because the axillary buds get sensitized to
ethylene
gibberellin
cytokinin
indole acetic acid.
In a plant organ which is covered by periderm and in which the stomata are absent, some gaseous exchange still takes place through
aerenchyma
trichornes
pneumatophores
lenticels.
