Which of the following is used in brewing industry to promote malting_______________?
Correct answer: A. Gibberellins
- A. Gibberellins
- B. Cytokinins
- C. Auxins
- D. Abscisic Acid
Explanation
Gibberellins stimulate the production of hydrolytic enzymes, such as amylase, in germinating barley seeds. These enzymes digest stored food and support rapid growth during malting, which is important in brewing. The likely alternative is cytokinins because they promote cell division, but they do not have the main malting effect associated with gibberellins.
