According to a recent model, the balance between the activities of ABA and gibberellin in seeds is under both developmental and environmental control such as

a) early stages of seed development, ABA sensitivity is high and gibberellin sensitivity is low, which favors dormancy over germination

b) Later in seed development, ABA sensitivity declines and gibberellin sensitivity increases, favoring germination.

c) Environmental factors such as temperature  and light affect the ABA:GA ratios by activation of the  NCED and GA2ox enzyme, which promotes seed dormancy

d) During an Ambient environment, activation of GA3ox and CYP707A2 inducing dormancy

The energy required for active transport is often provided by the hydrolysis of ATP. In plants we can study the dependence of the membrane potential on ATP by observing the effect of cyanide (CN–), What wil be the effect of cyanide(Cn-),

a.) Cyanide rapidly poisons the mitochondria as ATP synthesis is inhibited, the membrane potential falls below -50mV

b.) Cyanide inhibits the electron transport but not inhibit the ATP synthesis, the membrane potential positive

 c.) Cyanide inhibits the electrogenic ion transport the pH of the external medium increases while the cytosol becomes acidic because H+ remains inside the cell

 d.) Cyanide inhibits the electrogenic ion transport the pH of the external medium acidic while the cytosol becomes alkaline because H+ remains outside of the cell
