Q. The hormone responsible for apical dominance is

J & K CETJ & K CET 2010Plant Growth and Development

Solution:

Apical dominance is caused by the apical bud producing IAA (auxin) hormone in abundance. This auxin is transported basipetally from the apical bud. The auxin causes the lateral bud to remain dormant.
