Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The comparison and importance of jasmonic acid, produced in response to mechanical injury (wound) and in response to wound and fatty acid amino acids (FACs).
Introduction:
Plants like Nicotiana attenuata produce nicotine and jasmonic acid as secondary metabolites to defend themselves. The response of plants can be of two types; one in response to mechanical damage and other in response to the predation by the animal. The concentration of each metabolite differs in two situations.
The comparison of jasmonic acid production in response to mechanical injury and mechanical injury and FACs (secretion from hornworm):

- It is the term referring to the characteristic leaf structure of C4 plants that enables them to outperform C3 plants in an environment that has high O2 concentration and/or temperature. Unlike C3 and CAM plants, C4 plants, such as corn and sugarcane, have leaves with vascular bundles that are surrounded by a chloroplast-rich vascular bundle sheath, which is further surrounded by the spongy mesophyll.arrow_forwardGive common plants (fruits/flowers) that are high in anthocyanin which can be found in Asian countries like Philippines.arrow_forwardA 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 of jckplant.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. The lowest shoot development is BAP at 1 mg/L. What is the general conclusion that can you make from result of the experiment?arrow_forward
- 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 of jckplant.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. The lowest shoot development is BAP at 1 mg/L. Discuss why 2mg/L of BAP shows the better development and 1mg/L shows the lowest development?arrow_forwardA 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 of jckplant.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.
