GLABRA1 mutant plants show:

Reduced trichomes (C) is correct here. This is core Phytohormone ALL: once you know the definition or pathway step, Reduced trichomes is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) Increased trichomes; B) Normal trichomes; D) Larger leaves. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.

DELLA proteins promote photomorphogenesis by:

Binding PIFs and blocking transcription (B) is correct here. This is core Phytohormone ALL: once you know the definition or pathway step, Binding PIFs and blocking transcription is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) Activating PIFs; C) Enhancing GA biosynthesis; D) Activating COP1. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.

GLABRA2 acts:

B fits best: Downstream of GL1–GL3–TTG1. Keep the Jasmonic acid basics straight and Downstream of GL1–GL3–TTG1 stands out as the precise answer. Avoid: A) Upstream of GL1; C) As JA receptor; D) As JAZ protein. Light and flowering items often hinge on which photoreceptor or day-length rule is in play.

JA-induced trichome formation occurs in:

Arabidopsis (C) is correct here. This is core Jasmonic acid: once you know the definition or pathway step, Arabidopsis is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) Rice; B) Maize; D) Wheat. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.

Brassinosteroids suppress photomorphogenesis in:

B fits best: Dark. Keep the Brassinosteriod basics straight and Dark stands out as the precise answer. Avoid: A) Light; C) UV; D) Red light. Light and flowering items often hinge on which photoreceptor or day-length rule is in play.
