Which of the following hormone promotes the growth of lateral bud meristem?
A
Auxins
B
Cytokinins
C
Gibberellins
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinin promotes the growth of lateral buds by suppressing the growth of apical bud.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytokinins are essential plant hormones. By stimulating cell division, they regulate shoot meristem size, leaf primordia number, and leaf and shoot growth. They can stimulate both the differentiation and the outgrowth of axillary buds. The cytokinins can mediate axillary bud release from apical dominance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinins are a group of plant growth regulators which are primarily involved in performing cell division in plant roots, shoot system. This hormone helps in promoting the cell’s growth, development, differentiation, affecting apical dominance and delay in leaf senescence.
