Which breaks dormancy of potato tuber : -
A
Gibberellin
B
IAA
C
ABA
D
Zeatin
Detailed Solution
Gibberellins overcome dormancy of seeds and buds by counteracting abscisic acid.
Treatment of potato tubers with gibberellic acid makes their buds (eyes) sprout early.
ABA induces dormancy; IAA and zeatin are not used for this purpose.
So gibberellin breaks the dormancy of potato tubers.
