Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

A

Abscisic acid - Stomatal closure

B

Gibberellic acid - Leaves fall

C

Cytokinin - Cell division

D

IAA - Cell wall elongation

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the textbook:

  • Abscisic acid (ABA) stimulates the closure of stomata and acts as a stress hormone .
  • Cytokinins have specific effects on cytokinesis, i.e., cell division .
  • IAA (Auxin) is responsible for growth, which implies cell elongation and division .
  • Gibberellic acid (GA) is known to delay senescence (aging), allowing fruits to remain on the tree longer. It does not promote leaf fall; rather, Ethylene and ABA are the hormones associated with promoting senescence and abscission (leaves falling) .
