3. Ethylene | 4. ABA |
I: | Spraying sugarcane crop with gibberellins increases the yield by as much as 20 tonnes per acre. |
II: | Sugarcane stores carbohydrates as sugar in their stems and spraying sugarcane crop with gibberellins increases the length of the stem. |
I: | They can be used to increase the length of grape stalks. |
II: | They can elongate and improve the shape of apple. |
III: | They speed up malting process in brewing industry. |
IV: | They hasten the maturity period of juvenile conifers. |
V: | They promote bolting in many plants with rosette habit. |
