A plant hormone used for inducing morphogenesis in plant tissue culture is :

Correct answer: A. Cytokinins

  • A. Cytokinins
  • B. Ethylene
  • C. Abscisic Acid
  • D. Gibberellins

Explanation

(a) : Cytokinins are growth promoting phyto homones. Cytokinin plays an important part in organ formation (morphogenesis) with auxin. Different auxin/cytokinin ratio decides the development of root shoot ratio. The major physiological function of cytokinins is to enhance cell division. If cytokinin to auxin ratio is low, then root formation takes place but if the ratio of cytokinin to auxin is high, then, there is formation of meristematic cells in the callus.
