    Identify two physiological processes induced by two different phytohormones having a common precursor, which is formed due to the catalytic activity of pyruvic dehydrogenase complex. (i) More female flowers in cucumber (ii) \[\alpha \]-amylase production in barley grain (iii) Acceleration of fruit ripening in  tomato (iv) Delay in sprouting of potato tubers The correct combination is

    A)  (i), (ii)                                  

    B)  (i), (iii)

    C)  (ii), (iv)                

    D)  (iii), (iv)

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Ethylene causes acceleration of fruit ripening in tomato and maleic hydrazide (an auxin) delays sprouting of potato tubers. Precursors of both of there phytohormones are produced due to the catalytic activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
