Highest auxin concentration occurs :
Correct answer: A. In growing tips
- A. In growing tips
- B. In leaves
- C. At base of plant organs
- D. In xylem and phloem
Explanation
a) : Auxins are well known to promote elongation of stem and coleoptile. However when exogenous auxin is given to intact plants this is not observed because the required amount of auxin is already present in plants. When the apex of shoot is removed, then the exogenous application of auxin promotes growth, this clearly indicates that growing apex, having meristematic cells, is the site where endogenous auxins are present in sufficient amount, once the apex is removed the source of auxin is also removed.
