Important Questions on Chemical Coordination in Plants


The tea plants are never allowed to grow lengthwise. This is done by cutting their apical buds, a process known as pruning. In this way, tea plants get a dense growth and easy yield. Answer the following questions :
Name the scientific phenomenon that is being overcome by pruning. (Apical dominance/Bud dominance)
