A) ethylene
B) cytokinin
C) IAA

After imbibing water the embyro secretes gibberellin, which diffuses to the aleurone layer, gibberellins, stimulates the synthesis of several enzymes including a-amylase. These enzymes catalyze the breakdown of food reserve in the endosperm and the products of digestion diffuse to the embryo, where they are used in growth.You need to login to perform this action.
