Question
Chapter 39, Problem 3S
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The way through which the sites receiving the signal may vary during the course of growth when the systemin get transported through the phloem of the tomato plant.
Introduction:
The wound response in plants occurs when the leaf gets injured or chewed by the invader. During such responses, there is a rapid synthesis and release of proteinase inhibitor. Such type of inhibitors is only synthesized in conditions when the plant is wounded.

Plant cells communicate in a variety of ways to elicit cellular responses. In the figure below the plant is responding the presence of light with the release of auxin. Auxin was first discovered for its ability to promote growth in plants. It is a plant hormone that inhibits the lengthening and stimulate the formation of lateral roots and root hairs.
a) Describe the plant’s response to the presence of light. (refer to picture)
A tobacco plant has successfully fended off plant pathogen via hypersensitive response (HR).
(i)
What would you be able to observe on the plant and explain the processes that happened
at cellular level?
What are the benefits for the tobacco plant that has developed systemic acquired
resistance (SAR) in comparison to HR?
(ii)
(ii)
Name the chemical compounds responsible in triggering SAR and how would this
signal be transmitted?
If the PIN2 gene is rendered non-functional by mutation it dramatically reduces the speed of the gravitropic response in the root. Explain what PIN proteins do and why the loss on PIN2 would likely affect the speed of the gravitropic response.

- Hormones and signal pathways Complete the following paragraph to describe signal transduction as it occurs within plants. Choices may be used more than once or not at all. Chemical signals called play an important role in a plant's ability to respond to a stimulus. These signals bind to receptors, the first step in a cellular response called a may be located in the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm, the nucleus, or the endoplasmic reticulum. The series of relay proteins or enzymes activated by the hormone binding the receptor make up the Some responses are immediate, while others require a like Ca*, to initiate a cellular response.
