Textbook Question
Chapter 30, Problem 4CT
Cattle in industrial dairy farms are typically given rBST, or recombinant bovine somatotropin. This animal hormone increases a cow's milk production, but there is concern that such hormones may have unforeseen effects on milk-drinking humans. There is no similar concern about plant hormones in the plant foods we eat. Why not?

You have been chosen as the lead student gardener for the CSUMB Future Farmers of America Club (FFAC). Your club is looking to
you and your Bio211 plant experience to guide them. You arrive at the new FFAC garden plots and notice that while there are many
fruits on the apple tree, they seem to remain hard, sour, and green. Your club mates need the red, sweet apples in just a few days
for the apple competition.
Choose the best hormone to apply and the reason supporting its use:
Select one:
O a. Apply ethylene to the apples to increase ripening.
O b. Apply ethylene to slow ripening and increase chlorophyll levels.
O C. Apply auxin to increase parthenocarpy
O d. Apply gibberellins to increase fruit size.
O e. Apply auxins to decrease apical dominance and increase water intake.
Genetically modified plants can be produced by transferring desired:
Cytoplasm
Carbohydrates

A nine-year research and experimentations have successfully developed rice plants with golden hue kernels instead of the usual white kernels. What is the advantage of this modified rice plant?
Select one:
To make the plant become resistant to herbivores.
To provide sufficient rice produce due to its shorter cycle.
To add nutritional value to the rice kernels.
To allow easy harvesting and processing.

- Describe in your own words, how the experiments featured demonstrate the role of the plant hormone of interest.arrow_forwardScientists studied changes in proline, which is an indicator of plant stress and overall protein content in the corn plant when leaves had been consumed by grasshoppers. Corn plants were exposed to varying numbers of grasshoppers and compared to control plants with no grasshopper exposure. The bar graphs, with error bars, show the mean proline and protein content. The dashed lines show the proline and protein content of healthy plants 10 days prior to treatment. Which of the following statements would most likely describe the growth of corn plants in this study? When there is a decrease in the number of grasshoppers (dependent variable) measured against proline and protein content (independent variables), the corn plants would have slower growth and be smaller than the control plants. When there is an increase in the number of grasshoppers (dependent variable) measured against proline and protein content (independent variables), the growth of the corn plants would be similar…arrow_forwardPlant fertilizer consists of numerous different solutes (usually salts).

- A poultry farmer is curious about the effectiveness of two types of exogenous enzymes, namely papain and bromelain, to be used as an additive in poultry feed. The farmer is farming chickens and ducks. It is the first attempt for the farmer to evaluate the potential effect of these two exogenous enzymes on the growth performance of the poultry he farmed. Create a research framework to aid the farmer with experimental design and statistical analysis.

- Mang Noel and Efren are very close friends. They live in a province which main source of income relies on farming. They both own 1 hectare of rice field. Before the implementation of ECQ, Mang Noel’s son, Chris, went home for a while. One Saturday morning, Chris with his father went to the field. While roaming around, his father observed something unusual in the rice plant. The plants exhibit yellowing that starts from the leaf tip and extends down to the lower leaf portion. Going back home, they passed by to the field of Mang Efren. Mang Noel mentioned to him the unusual thing in his field. Mang Efren advised him not to worry about and to apply fertilizer. With that, Chris’ father thought that it was just an ordinary case and believed that everything will go back to normal after nitrogen application. However, Chris was not convinced so he decided to consult a plant pathologist and eventually confirmed his intuition that the disease is Rice Tungro. Based on Plant Pathology, how should…arrow_forwardA crude extract sample was obtained from a plant and was found effective as an anti-diabetic agent in-vitro. The researcher wants to determine the appropriate lethal dose of the sample because it was intended to be administered orally. Literature studies show that plants under the same genus with the source of the crude extract has a lethal dose of 300 mg/Kg BW. Your group performed the test following the OECD Guideline 423 and used the recommended starting dose. The derived approximate LD50 was 25 mg/Kg BW. Why would a drug with a TI of less than 1 be considered as the primary treatment of a certain disease?arrow_forwardThe chloroplast is the site of Indole synthesis.
