Q. Differentiation of shoot is controlled by

A) High gibberellin – auxin ratio
B) High gibberellin – cytokinin ratio
C) High auxin – cytokinin ratio
D) High cytokinin – auxin ratio
Explanation

Ratio of cytokinins to auxins controls differentiation. If both of these are present in equal quantities, the cells divide but fail to differentiate. If there is more cytokinin than auxin, shoot buds develop. If there is more auxin than cytokinin, roots develop.
