Which of the following is/are fuctions of Ethylene? Correct Answer Both 1 and 2

The correct answer is fruit ripening and iso-diametric growth of stems and roots.

  • Ethylene is a group of plant growth regulators which are widely used for ripening fruits.
  • It is also used for the production of more flowers and fruits.
  • Ethylene is also used in agriculture practices to ripen fruits, germinate seeds.
  • It is a gaseous hormone that stimulates transverse or isodiametric growth but retard longitudinal one.
  • Ethylene is regarded as a multifunctional phytohormone that regulates both growth and senescence.
  • It promotes or inhibits growth and senescence processes depending on its concentration, timing of application, and the plant species.
