Compare the statement I and II and choose the correct option.

Statement I In the flowering plants due to higher accumulation of auxins dormancy of lateral buds occurs.

Statement II In Maryland Mammoth (a tobacco variety) flowering occurred at a different time at different latitude due to gibberellins concentration.

  • Statement I is true, but II is false

  • Statement I is false, but II is true

  • Both statements are true

  • Both statements are false


A.

Statement I is true, but II is false

Auxin is responsible for apical dominance in apical buds, which inhibits the lateral buds to grow. Plants require a certain day length to flower. This relative length of day and night needed for flowering is called as photoperiod. The effect of photoperiod or daily duration of light hours and dark periods on the growth and development of plants, especially flowering, is called photoperiodism. This phenomenon was first discovered by Garner and Allard (1920, 1922) on Maryland Mammoth variety of tobacco. They observed that the Maryland Mammoth could be made to flower only by reducing the light hours with artificial darkening. It could be made to remain vegetative in winter by providing extra light.
