Question
Chapter 36, Problem 2ITD
Summary Introduction
To review:
The change observed in the experiment in the presence and absence of abscisic acid (ABA).
Introduction:
The mutant A. thaliana is studied for the activity of karrikin (KAR) growth regulators. The mutants taken are unable to synthesize gibberellins. The seeds are imbibed in water for germination. One set of seeds is imbibed in water with ABA supplement and another set is imbibed in normal water. The results of germination processes are observed in both sets of seeds.

Phytochrome, plays an important role in flowering in many plants. It can also be used to determine when lettuce seeds germinate (shown in the figure below
What is phytochrome likely doing in the lettuce seeds?
Activating abscisic acid production
Activating inhibitors of germination
Inhibiting gibberellin synthesis
Turning on germination-related genes
Ginger undergoes three (3) stages of Growth. Name and describe the these stages from Germinating stage to time for harvesting
Green mangoes were freshly harvested from tree and buried in a jar of uncooked rice to
accelerate ripening process. During storage, the fruit colour has changed to yellow.
Explain the principles behind this ripening process by relating to the fruit tvne and
identify the phytohormone responsible for this ripening process.
(i)
Suggest another simple method to expedite the ripening process with another fruit of
the same type. Marks will be awarded for the correct type of materials (fruit), method
and experimental set up (temperature and space).

- Plant Physiology In the amazon rainforest, what is needed (1 only) to induce germination faster? Why?arrow_forwardTobacco plants invest a lot of resources into the production of secondary compounds know as alkaloids (e.g., nicotine) that we believe act as defenses against herbivores. The researchers did an experiment where they added a hormone that reduces the production of alkaloids. In graph (a), the data show that the hormone reduced the proportion of alkaloids as a function of leaf mass relative to controls- so the hormone worked. They also measured the lifetime seed production of the plants in both treatments without any herbivores present (b). They had the following results.

Two groups of plants are grown from seed in identical soil types, exposed to identical light conditions, and given the same nutrients. Group A is in a quiet atmosphere. The plants in group B provided with the same atmosphere, except that classical music is played for twelve hours daily in this area. The scientist measures the plants in both groups each day and records the data.

Before papaya fruits ripen and the seeds inside them mature, their flesh is bitter or sour. Only later does it become tasty.Discuss how this feature improves the odds for the plant's reproductive success and identify the possible agents to disperse the seeds.
