The stages of gibberellin biosynthesis takes place various
organelles and completed in various forms such as;
a) In the endoplasmic
reticulum GA12 is converted to GA53 by hydroxylation at C-13
b) In the cytosol GA12 is converted via 13-hydroxylation pathway
into GA9 and further converted into GA4 by 3-β-Hydroxylation
c) In the cytosol GA53 is converted via 13-Hydroxylation
pathway into GA20 and further converted into GA1 by 3-β-Hydroxylation
d)
Hydroxylation at C-2 then converts GA4 and GA1 to the inactive forms
GA34 and GA8, respectively

#Question id: 11732
#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
Cytokinins are defined as compounds that have biological
activities similar to those of trans-zeatin. These activities include the
ability to do the following:
a) Induce cell division in callus cells in the presence of
an auxin
b) Promote bud or root formation from callus cultures when
in the appropriate molar ratios to auxin
c) promote senescence of leaves
d) Promote expansion of dicot cotyledons
Which one of the following activities are incorrect?
