Answer:
Explanation:
Physiological Effects of Gibberellins:
Elongation of intact stems: Many plants respond to application of GA by a marked increase in stem length; the effect is primarily one of internode elongation.

Answer:
Synthetic auxins :
Artificially synthesized auxins that have properties like auxins are called as synthetic auxins
example: 2, 4 D (Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid)
Physical effects of gibberellins
→ Application of gibberellins on plants stimulate extraordinary elongation of internode.
example: Corn and Pea
→ Treatment of rosette plants with gibberellin induces sudden shoot elongation followed by flowering. This is called as Bolting
→ Gibberellins break dormancy of potato tubers
→ gibberellins promote the production of male flowers in monoecious plants(cucurbits)
→ Gibberellins are efficient that auxins in inducing the formation of seedless fruit - Parthenocarpic Fruits ( Parthenocarpic - development of fruits without fertilization)
example: Tomato
