Question:

During seed germination, its stored food is mobilized by Cytokinin, Gibberellin, ABA, or Ethylene?

Cytokinin.

ABA.

Ethylene.

Gibberellin.

Solution:

Gibberellic acid was discovered as a metabolic byproduct of the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi, which causes the stems of growing rice to elongate so rapidly the plant collapsed. Synthetic forms of gibberellic acid are available commercially. Overcoming dormancy. Treatment with high concentrations of GA is effective in overcoming dormancy and causing rapid germination of seed. Concentrations of about 2 ppm can cause tubers to sprout earlier.
