Question
Distinguishes between Gibberellin and Kinin.
Answer
| Gibberellins | Cytokinins |
|---|---|
| Primarily synthesized in shoot apical meristems and root apical meristems | Mainly produced in root apical meristems, but also in developing embryos, young leaves, and fruits |
| Promote stem elongation, seed germination, and fruit development | Stimulate cell division and differentiation, regulate apical dominance and promote lateral bud growth |
| Gibberellins can delay leaf senescence | Cytokinins can actively delay senescence, particularly in leaves, by reducing the rate of protein degradation |
