Summary Introduction

To Explain: Mechanism of activation of proton pumps that could lead to wilting in plants.

Concept Introduction: Fusicoccum amygdali is a pathogenic fungus that secretes an unspecific toxin called fusicoccin which activates the proton pump of plasma membrane of plant cells and leads to the uncontrolled loss of water and can lead to severe wilting.

Cotton plants wilt within a few hours of flooding of their roots. The flooding leads to low-oxygen conditions, increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, and decreases in cytosolic pH. Suggest a hypothesis to explain how flooding leads to wilting.
A) The concentration of CO2 is lower inside a plant cell than in the atmosphere (outside the cell).  In your own words, describe how the CO2 levels are kept low inside the plant cell and explain why this is necessary. Assume stomata are open.    B) Regarding the situation presented in Part A and assuming that the stomata of the plant leaves are closed, would this favour the induction of photorespiration in a C3 plant? Explain. Make reference to relevant molecule or molecules as needed.     Please clearly label your responses as A and B
Describe the role played by protein pumps during active transport in plants.
