The gene-guided development program that leads to the production of a leaf. Introduction: Leaves are the primary organs that participate in the process of photosynthesis and helps in the overall growth of plants. The shoot apical meristem (SAM) that is present at the periphery of stems is the primary structure where leaf development takes place. SAM consists of pluripotent stem cells, which have the capability to produce different organs of plants. The development of leaf takes place in meristematic tissue, which is a site of gene activity that leads to the leaf development. Leaf development takes place by the interaction of various genes with the target cells.

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
