To demonstrate: The observation involved in a) a leaf from a mutant plant that was exposed to an inductive photoperiod was grafted with a wild-type plant, the resultant recipient plant produced flowers; b) the flowering is induced when a gene is coupled to an active promoter that in high levels expressed in the shoot apical meristem in presence of a photoperiodic stimulus. Introduction: Photoperiodism is the ability of a plant to flower in response to changes in the lengths of day and night. The duration of day length plays a critical role in flowering process. Grafting is a vegetative reproduction process where the scion of one plant is combined with the stock of another plant.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
