QQuestion

Auxin hormone inhibits the growth of apical bud and increases the growth of axillary bud

Exam-ready answer 01 Mark

Answer

False

Explanation

Auxin primarily inhibits the growth of axillary buds and promotes the elongation of the apical (main) bud, which is known as apical dominance. When the apical bud is removed or inhibited, auxin levels decrease, and the axillary buds begin to grow. Therefore, the original statement is incorrect because auxin inhibits rather than promotes the growth of the axillary buds.
