Question

Synthetic auxins are used for

Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: [Option A]
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Plant hormones and their applications
	**Related Topics**: Herbicides, Fruit development, Cell growth
	**Prerequisites**: Understanding of plant physiology and hormone functions
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
		Synthetic auxins are a class of plant hormones that mimic the natural auxins produced by plants.
		They are used in agriculture and horticulture for various purposes.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Identify the primary uses of synthetic auxins in agriculture.
		Reasoning: Synthetic auxins regulate plant growth and development, influencing various physiological processes.
		Formula/Rule: N/A
	2. Evaluate the options provided for their relevance to synthetic auxins.
		Working: 
		- Option A: Killing weeds - Synthetic auxins are effective herbicides that can selectively kill certain plants.
		- Option B: Ripening fruits - While auxins play a role in fruit development, they are not primarily used for ripening.
		- Option C: Increasing the size of the fruits - Auxins can influence growth, but this is a secondary effect.
		- Option D: Stimulating growth of cells in tissue culture - Auxins are indeed used in tissue culture, but this is not the primary use.
	3. Conclude the most relevant application of synthetic auxins.
		Result: Synthetic auxins are mainly used for killing weeds.
		Verification: This aligns with their function as herbicides.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: Synthetic auxins are widely used as herbicides to kill weeds by disrupting their growth processes.
[B] :x: While auxins are involved in fruit development, they are not primarily used for ripening fruits.
[C] :x: Increasing fruit size is a possible effect of auxins, but it is not their main application.
[D] :x: Auxins can stimulate growth in tissue culture, but this is a more specialized application than the primary use.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing the role of auxins in fruit ripening with their role in herbicide action: Remember that while auxins affect growth, their primary use in synthetic form is for weed control.
		2. Overlooking the broader applications of auxins in plant tissue culture: Understand that while they are used in tissue culture, this is a specific use case rather than a primary function.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Remember the acronym 'HERB' (Herbicides, Enhancing growth, Ripening) to recall the main functions of auxins.
		2. Associate synthetic auxins with weed control to reinforce their primary application.
