Green fluorescent protein (GFP) can attach and mark other proteins with fluorescence, enabling scientists to see the presence of a particular protein. In an experiment to understand the molecular physiology behind the GA-induced seed germination, a GFP-tagged protein was observed to be moving from the cytoplasm into the nucleus of aleurone layer cells before the detection of alpha-amylase in the endosperm. Based on your knowledge, identify the possible protein(s) with which the GFP is attached in the given situation. Justify your answer.

According to data from genome sequences, cytoplasmic dynein is absent in some plants (e.g.,Arabidopsis) and present in others (e.g.,rice).Does this ﬁnding surprise you? What else might you do to conﬁrm or refute such a statement? How is it possible that higher plant cells could operate without cytoplasmic dynein?
What would be the effect on flowering time of over-expressing VIN3 (i.e., 35S:VIN3) in a winter annual Arabidopsis plant grown adjacent to a summer annual wild type plant in long days under warm conditions? Assume that the plants germinate at the same time. In answering the question, describe the molecular mechanism that allows you to make this conclusion.
Suppose an Arabidopsis mutant lacking functional aquaporin proteins has a root mass three times greater than that of wild-type plants. Suggest an explanation.
A group of students have carried out an experiment to investigate the relationship between the amount of growth hormone BAP in the culture medium and the growth of shoot.They have supplemented the medium with 4 different concentration of growth hormone which is (1 mg/L ,2 mg/L BAP,3 mg/L 4 mg/L) of BAP.According to the result after eight weeks, BAP at 2 mg/L had given better response with respect to shoot induction, shoot multiplication, length of shoot, and number of leaves per explants when compare with other amount of BAP. Discuss why?

This experiment is done in a thermal flask, will you be able to perform the same results (flask A with germinated seeds temperature increases and flask B with boiled seeds temperature remain unchanged), assuming you will be using a regular glass flask? Why?
The image represents a flower meristem viewed from above. At the time the image represents, the cells are undifferentiated, although their eventual fates are determined (e.g. carpels, etc.). The rectangles indicate the regions of the meristem where particular genes (A, B, and C) are expressed. Note that these genes are expressed all around the circumference of the meristem at the location indicated; in other words, gene A is active in all cells in the rings labeled sepal and petals.

Wild type, rapid-cycling accessions of Arabidopsis, such as the Columbia (COL) lab line will flower 32 days after germination under long day conditions (with a critical photoperiod of 15 hours). What is the predicted flowering-time response (EARLY, LATE, SAME) of each experimental plant's genotype (Listed below) relative to the wild-type, rapid-cycling COL line - when both are grown from seed under the following environmental conditions. The possible flowering time responses are: EARLY, LATE, SAME., relative to the wild-type COL line grown in the conditions listed below.
