Which one of the following is correctly matched?

Which one of the following is correctly matched?
A Bakane of rice seedlings – F. Skoog
B Passive transport of nutrients – ATP
C Apoplast – Plasmodesmata
D Potassium – Readily immobilisation

Detailed Solution

Bakanae (foolish seedling) disease of rice was studied by E. Kurosawa; Skoog worked on cytokinins.
Passive transport does not use ATP.
The apoplast is the system of cell walls and intercellular spaces; plasmodesmata belong to the symplast.
Potassium is a readily mobilised element in plants, so this is the pair accepted as correctly matched.
