In germinating seed food supply is done by

Options

(a) auxin
(b) gibberellin
(c) cytokinin
(d) ethylene

Correct Answer:

gibberellin

Explanation:

Gibberelin promotes seeds germination. During seed germination, especially of cereals, gibberelins stimulate the production of some messenger RNA and then hydrolytic enzymes like amylases, lipases and proteases. The enzyme solubilises the reserve food of the seed. The same is transferred to embryo axis for its growth.
