Fruits and seeds have a high concentration of which of the following plant hormones?
Cytokinin
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Cytokinins.
Cytokinins are plant hormones that promote cell division and are found in higher concentrations in young fruits and seeds. They are synthesized in regions of active growth, such as root tips, fruits, and seeds, and play a crucial role in stimulating cell division and supporting the development of these plant structures. This is why they are present in greater concentrations in fruits and seeds during their growth stages.
Other options explained:
-
Auxin: Primarily involved in cell elongation and phototropism, not specifically concentrated in fruits and seeds.
-
Abscisic acid: Known for inducing seed dormancy and stress responses, not typically abundant in developing fruits and seeds.
-
Gibberellin: Plays a role in seed germination and stem elongation, but not the primary hormone in fruits and seeds.
