Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. bolting and stem elongation in rosette plants
Gibberellins cause dramatic stem elongation and bolting (a rapid stem shoot-up before flowering) in rosette plants like cabbage.
They were discovered through the foolish seedling disease of rice caused by Gibberella fujikuroi.
Fruit ripening is mainly ethylene
drought stomata closure is ABA
abscission is ethylene plus ABA.
