What would be expected to happen if:(a) GA3 is applied to rice seedlings, (b) Dividing cells stop differentiating(c) A rotten fruit gets mixed with unripe fruits, You forget to add cytokinin to the culture medium.
(a) Application of GA3 to rice seedlings shall cause an intense increase in cell growth of stem- young leaves and other aerial parts. (b) If dividing cells stop differentiating then there is the possibility of formation of a large mass of cells in the form of tumor that may cause cancerous condition. (c) If we forget to add cytokinin to the culture medium then the cell division process may halt as cytokinin is a plant growth regulator that is responsible for the induction of cytokinensis.
