    Question: The example of stomata closing type anti-transpirant in leaves is- (RJ ACF Ranger )

    Options:

    Kaolin
    Phenyl Mercuric acetate
    Hexadecanol
    Mobileaf

    ✅Explanation: Phenyl Mercuric acetate (PMA) is a stomata closing type anti-transpirant. It acts by disrupting the physiological processes that regulate stomatal opening and closing, leading to reduced water loss through transpiration.

    📌 Other Options Explanations:

    • Anti -transparent:
    • Materials are applied to plant surface to reduce transpiration from the plant.
    • Anti -transparent reducephotosynthesis.
    • Hence, their use should be limited to save the crop from death under severe moisture stress. • Theyhavesome practical use in nurseries and horticultural crops.

    🛑 Anti-transparents are mainly four types:
    -Stomata closing type: "
    • They reduce water loss through closing stomata.
    • E.g. Phenyl mercuric acetate (PMA @104), Atrazine and C./2 is also an effective anti-transpirant.

    ✏️Film forming:
    • Checks transpiration loss due toformation of thin film whichact as physical barrier.
    • E.g.Mobileaf, hexadecanol, silicone, oils, waxes.

    ✏️Reflectingtype:
    • These chemicals reflect the radiation and reduce leaf
    temperature.
    • Application of kaolin @ 5% reduces transpiration losses.

    ✏️Growth retardants:
    • These chemicalsreduce shootgrowth and increase root
    growth and thus enable the plants to resist drought.
    • They also inducesstomata closing e.g. Cycocel (CCC).
