During seed germination its stored food is mobilized
-
- Cytokinin
- ABA
- Gibberellin
- Ethylene
Correct Option: C
Gibberellins stimulate the synthesis of α-amylase and protease enzyme in germinating grains of cereals. They are involved in the conversion of starch into sugar. The proteases convert an inactive β-amylase to the active form. The active β-amylase and α-amylase together digest starch to glucose which is mobilized to meet the metabolic demands of embryo.
