Whether the tree will die in weeks or in days, if a complete ring of bark around a tree trunk is removed. Concept introduction : In woody plants, bark refers to the group of tissues that are present outside the vascular cambium. The bark constitutes secondary phloem and periderm along with its older layers. There are two layers of bark namely inner bark and outer bark . The inner bark constitutes the secondary phloem (produced by the vascular cambium). The outer bark contains cork cells (produced by cork cambium). The cork cells produce suberin. The suberin makes trunk and roots impermeable to water and gases. The inner living tissue exchange gases through lenticels, opening in barks.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether the tree will die in weeks or in days, if a complete ring of bark around a tree trunk is removed.

Concept introduction:

In woody plants, bark refers to the group of tissues that are present outside the vascular cambium. The bark constitutes secondary phloem and periderm along with its older layers.

There are two layers of bark namely inner bark and outer bark. The inner bark constitutes the secondary phloem (produced by the vascular cambium). The outer bark contains cork cells (produced by cork cambium). The cork cells produce suberin. The suberin makes trunk and roots impermeable to water and gases.

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
