Q. Which hormone is responsible for mobilization of storage food during seed germination?

MGIMS WardhaMGIMS Wardha 2005

Solution:

Gibberellin is responsible for mobilization of storage food during seed germination. After getting moisture, the embryo of seed releases gibberellins Gibberellins induce the alemone layer of endosperm to produce enzymes (e.g. a-amylase). These enzymes digest stored starch to mobilize sugars for germination.
