Q. The fruits can be left on the tree longer using $GA$ so as to extend the market period. This is due to which function of $GA$ ?

Plant Growth and Development

Solution:

Some of the gibberellins are commercially used in the delayed ripening of fruits. $GA_7$ delays senescence so that fruit can be left on the tree for longer period. It extends period of marketing. Ripening of Citrus fruits can be delayed with the help of gibberellins. This is useful in storing the fruits.
