Given below are four phytohormones select the one to which ABA acts antagonistically.

AGibberellic acid

BEthylene

CKinetin

DIndole Acetic acid

Answer:

A. Gibberellic acid

Read Explanation:

  • If two hormones have opposite actions on the plant body they are considered to be antagonistic.

  • Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant growth inhibitor and plays a vital role in inhibiting plant metabolism and also induces seed dormancy under stressful conditions.

  • GAs are a group of growth hormone strongly associated with promoting growth, including stem elongation and seed germination.

  • So ABA functions as an antagonist to Gibberellins.
