MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Assertion: Waxy and cutin coating on plant parts reduce the transpiration.

Reason    : These adaptation are found in xerophytes.

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Stomatal movements are influenced by a number of environmental factors. Which of the following statements is/are incorrect regarding this?

(i) Blue light keeps stomata open during the day promoting the movement of K+ ions into guard cells.
(ii) Increased CO2 concentration reduces the pH of guard cells which promotes conversion of sugar into starch, ultimately causing closure of stomata.
(iii) Abscisic acid, under stress conditions, causes rapid movement of K+ ions into guard cells.
(iv) Highly concentrated sucrose or salt solution when applied over to stomata, results in stomatal opening.
