Question
Gibberellins can promote seed germination because of their influence on
rate of cell division
production of hydrolysing enzymes
synthesis of abscisic acid
absorption of water through hard seed coat.
Solution
B.
production of hydrolysing enzymes
Gibberellins induce the production of hydrolysing enzymes in the endosperm of germinating seeds. It stimulates the production of digestive enzymes like proteases, amylase and lipase which help to mobilise stored nutrients.
