Identify two physiological processes induced by two different phytohormones having a common precursor, which is formed due to the catalytic activity of pyruvic dehydrogenase complex. I. more female folwers in cucumber. II. a-amylase production in barley grain. III. Acceleration of fruit ripening in tomato.
IV. Delay in sprouting of potato tubers. the correct combination is
IV. Delay in sprouting of potato tubers. the correct combination is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
III and IV
