Abscisic acid causes :
Correct answer: A. Stomatal closure
- A. Stomatal closure
- B. Stem elongation
- C. Leaf expansion
- D. Root elongation.
Explanation
a) : Absisic acid is a hormone produced during adverse environmental condition. It also causes the closure of stomata under conditions of water stress as also under high concentration of CO 2 in the guard cells. Abscisic acid inhibits the K+ uptake by guard cells and promotes the leakage of malic acid. It results in reduction of osmotically active solutes so that the guard cells become flaccid and stomata get closed.

About Growth and Development
Embryonic development covers fertilization, cleavage, formation of the blastula and gastrula, germ layers, organ formation and differentiation. Regeneration describes the replacement of lost tissues or body parts, whereas ageing involves gradual cellular and physiological changes linked to reduced repair, altered metabolism and declining organ function.
