- Phytochrome, plays an important role in flowering in many plants. It can also be used to determine when lettuce seeds germinate (shown in the figure below What is phytochrome likely doing in the lettuce seeds? Activating abscisic acid production Activating inhibitors of germination Inhibiting gibberellin synthesis Turning on germination-related genesarrow_forwardThe data that is attached below was collected during a lettuce seed ecotoxicity assay. Lettuce seed assays are used to compare the ecotoxicity of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol by these alcohols' effects on germination rate and root elongination. Using the attached data, help answer which alcohol seems to be the most toxic to lettuce seeds. Why or why not would your results be expected?
