a)

False

b)

True

7.

Below are sentence describing lag period in oxygen consumption except:

a)

Triggering agent stimulus activation & synthesis of germinating agent.

b)

Action of terminating agents on the genetic materials - new RNA & enzymes

c)

Triggering in activating the enzymes particularly ABA in developing seeds

d)

Embryo exhausts the available respiratory products & await more hexose from hydrolysis.

True

b)

False

10.

Below are the mechanisms of GA in controlling germination EXCEPT:

a)

The induction of the expression of hydrolyzing enzymes of endosperm tissues.

b)

Regulate production of mRNA during late embryogenesis to produce a particular set of proteins called `Late Embryogenesis Abundant' or LEA. Important in seed to withstand desiccation.

c)

Direct simulating effect on the growth potential of the embryo which this growth potential is restricted by ABA
