Why plants with mutant that produce excessive abscisic acid (ABA) are warmer than wild-types under normal, non-stressful circumstances. Concept introduction: ABA is a plant stress hormone that helps the plant to overcome drought conditions. It does so by helping in the closing of stomata. ABA causes water to flow out of guard cell and thus lessen its turgor. Hence, the stomata close.

A series of auxotrophic mutants were isolated in Neurospora. Examination of fungi containing these mutations revealed that they grew on minimal medium to which various compounds (A, B, C, D) were added; growth responses to each of the four compounds are presented in the following table. Give the order of compounds A, B, C, and D in a biochemical pathway. Outline a biochemical pathway that includes these four compounds and indicate which step in the pathway is affected by each of the mutations.

A 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?
