    Removal of apical (terminal) bud of a flowering plant (or pruning of a flowering plant) leads to

    A)  formation of new apical buds

    B)  formation of adventitious roots on the cut side

    C)  early flowering (or stopping of floral growth)

    D)  promotion of lateral branches

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Removal of apical meristem leads to increase in cytokinin level of lateral buds. It stimulates cell division and completes vascular connection between axillary buds and transport stream. Now, axillary buds get sufficient supply of IAA, cytokinin and other solutes so that these may develop into new shoots.
