- Which of the following is the function of cytokinin? A. activation of defense response from biotrophic and hemi-biotrophic pathogens B. structurally related to animal steroid hormones for growth and development C. long distance (root-to-shoot) signals for nitrogen assimilation D. defense from necrotrophic pathogens and herbivore insectsarrow_forwardDanish is preparing a plate of papaya (Carica papaya) for his sleepover friends. As he cuts open the papaya, they discover great numbers of slime-covered seed inside, surrounded by soft flesh and soft skin. 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.arrow_forwardSome plants are recognized by fungal pathogens on the basis of their stomatal pores. Which of the following would provide these plants immunity from fungal infection? a. Removing all of the stomata from the plant b. Changing the spacing of stomatal pores in these plants c. Reinforcing the cell wall in the guard cells of stomatal pores d. Increasing the number of trichomes on the surfacesarrow_forward

- Which of the following explains why pea plants in high soil nitrogen conditions have so few rhizobial nodules on their roots? When there is already high soil nitrogen there is a very large cost to having rhizobial nodules. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules fix nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so when there is already high soil nitrogen there is no advantage for the pea plant to expend the extra energy housing the rhizobia. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules use nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so in conditions of high soil nitrogen the plant tries to exclude the rhizobia to keep the nitrogen for itself. When there is already high soil nitrogen there is no benefit to the plant to having rhizobial nodules, which can rob the plant of the high nitrogen supplies so that the rhizobia bacteria do not have to fix the nitrogen themselves.arrow_forwardYou are trying to get some seeds started by soaking them in water.
