    Leaf abscission is caused by

    A)  ABA                                     

    B)  cytokinin

    C)  auxin                                   

    D)  gibberellins

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Abscission is the fall of leaves and fruits.             Addicott and his coworkers (1964) observed           abscisic acid (ABA), a stress hormone, accelerated           leaf abscission in cotton plants. Since, then it is           believed that cause of abscission is the presence              of growth inhibiting hormone (ABA), but its             universal role for abscission is yet to be                 established.
