  • question_answer
    Read the following statements with respects to rate of transpiration.
    I. In dry atmosphere, the relative humidity is low so, the rate of transpiration increases.
    II. Slow breeze promotes the rate of transpiration.
    III. ABA promotes transpiration.
    IV. A high salt concentration in soil water increases transpiration.
    Choose the incorrect options.

    A)  I and II                

    B)  II and III

    C)  III and IV                            

    D)  I and IV

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Statement III and IV are incorrect as Abscisic Acid (ABA) inhibits transpiration. This hormone functions in various plant developmental processes, including    bud    dormancy and ABA-mediated signaling also plays an important part in plant responses to environmental stress and plant pathogens. A high salt concentration in soil reduces the rate of transpiration due to less, waiter absorption.
