Q. A farmer while growing grape plants in his garden, observes the following :
(i) Fruit size normally remained small.
(ii) Natural seed abortion.
(iii) Reduced stem and leaf growth.
Which problems could be solved by application of gibberellic acid during the development of fruits ?

Plant Growth and Development

Solution:

Application of gibberellins increases the number and size of several fruits, e.g., grape, tomato etc. The hormone creates more room by increasing the size of stalks so that fruits can grow in size.
