Which of the following growth regulators is an adenine derivative?
Auxin
Cytokinin
Ethylene
Abscisic acid
Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) are classified based on their chemical composition. Cytokinins (e.g., kinetin) are explicitly described as adenine derivatives (specifically N6-furfurylamino purine) . In contrast, Auxins are indole compounds (e.g., IAA), Abscisic acid (ABA) is a derivative of carotenoids, and Ethylene is a gaseous PGR .
