Phytohormones are
hormones regulating growth from seed to adulthood

The cells of the quiescent centre are characterised by
having dense cytoplasm and prominent nuclei
having light cytoplasm and small nuclei
dividing regularly to add to the corpus
dividing regularly to add to tunica
B.
having light cytoplasm and small nuclei
In the apices ofsome roots, (e.g., Zea mays, maize), there is a central region of cells which normally does not divide. This central inactive region was called quiescent centre by FE.A.L. Clowes (1959, 1961).
The cells of this region have lesser amounts of RNA and DNA so they have small nuclei. These cells also have a lower rate of protein synthesis. Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum arc less developed. The cells of the quiescent centre arc usually inactive. However, if already existing meristematic cells are injured or become inactive due to any other reason, the cells ofquiescent centre become active.
Assertion : Vernalization is acceleration of subsquent flowering by low temperature treatment.
Reason : Site of vernalization is apical meristem.

Avena curvature test is a bioassay for examining the activity of
auxins
cytokinins

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.
