You are growing tomatoes and your plants are healthy and nearly one metre tall. You worry that they might get blown over by the wind, so you decide to lend them extra support with a wire frame. You accidently break the growing tip off the top of one of the plants. After a few weeks, you notice that instead of growing tall like the other plants, the plant with the broken tip has grown denser with thicker lateral shoots than the other plants. Question: Explain what signal transduction pathway has been impacted by the removal of the growing tip of this tomato plant and contrast this with what is happening in the normal growing tomato plants (10 facts).
