Question
Which of the following is not correct for ethylene?Promotes horizontal growth in seedlingsSynchronize fruit set in pineappleIt shows triple response in root of Dicot plant.Break seed and bud dormancy
Solution
The statement that is not correct for ethylene is: "Promotes horizontal growth in seedlings".
Ethylene is a plant hormone that actually promotes vertical growth in seedlings, not horizontal. It is involved in many aspects of the plant life cycle, including seed germination, leaf fall, and fruit ripening. However, its role in promoting horizontal growth in seedlings is incorrect.
The other statements are correct. Ethylene does synchronize fruit set in pineapple, shows a triple response in the root of dicot plants, and helps to break seed and bud dormancy.
