Explain how coumarins are usually stored in the vegetable in an un-elicited tissue, compared to a vegetable under conditions of biotic (or abiotic) stress in which, for example, leaf tissue disruption occurs. What is the relationship of this condition to the regulation of coumarin biosynthesis? Describe how compartmentalization / accumulation of this metabolite occurs in the cell and point out a biosynthetic step in which key enzymes are involved in this condition.
J. C. Servaites, in Plant Physiol. (1985) 78:839–843, observed that Rubisco from tobacco leaves collected before dawn had a much lower specific activity than the enzyme collected at noon. This difference persisted despite extensive dialysis, gel filtration, or heat treatment. However, precipitation of the predawn enzyme by 50% (NH4)2SO4 restored the specific activity to the level of the noon-collected enzyme. Suggest an explanation.
How can the absence of transcription affect the thermoregulation of plants?

- What is a byproduct of the synthesis of larger sugar molecules from smaller sugar molecules?arrow_forwardThe herbicide dinoseb, which was removed from the market many years ago, killed plants by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. Ironically, plants have embedded in the inner membrane of their mitochondria a protein named the “uncoupling protein” that essentially can carry out the same process caused by dinoseb. The mechanism of uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation involves which of the following scenarios. A. Excess electrons oxidize lipids in the mitochondrial membranes, thus destroying the electron transport chain B. Excessive oxygen is consumed via reduction to water, thus depriving the mitochondria of the ability to carry out phosphorylation that requires oxygen C. The membrane selectivity required to maintain a proton gradient is altered so the potential for driving ATP synthesis via chemiosmosis is degraded D. Uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation kicks a cell into a fermentative pathway that cannot supply sufficient ATParrow_forwardList eight metabolic processes that undergo endogenous rhythms in plants.arrow_forward

- Please asnwer the following question: Suppose you specifically want to measure the amount of beta-glucose present in a sample. You have an enzyme that reacts specifically with the beta form of the sugar,and produces a signal that is easy to measure. However, every time you try to measure the amount of beta-glucose, mutarotation occurs and the alpha form of the sugar is converted into beta!! Can you suggest a simple way of overcoming this problem so you could measure only the beta form of the sugar?
