Question

Which plant hormone promote dormancy in seeds and buds?

Answer 1

Answer:

abscisic acid is the sole plant hormone known to maintain seed dormancy; it acts through a gene expression network involving the transcription factor ABSCISIC

Answer 2

Your answer

Seed dormancy is a critical step in the lifecycle of plants, and it is crucial to the survival of plant species; this process is also important for agricultural practice to prevent preharvest

sprouting when humid conditions persist before harvest. This study uncovers a previously unrecognized action of auxin in maintaining seed dormancy through AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 10/16-mediated expression of ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE 3, a key regulator in the abscisic acid-mediated seed dormancy.
