Question
Chapter 39.4, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To predict: The purpose of using thermal images to compare the responses of the wild-type (WT) and the genetically engineered (E) plants before and after experimental treatment with agrochemical.
Introduction: Thermography is the technique in which the heat and infrared radiation emitted from the living tissue or body is captured and converted into an electronic image. This image can be observed to detect any alterations in temperature and activity.

Azlina wanted to maximize the bio-char yield in her experiment so that she can utilize the biochar in the subsequent pot trials to improve the crop yield. She decided to run a torrefaction reaction on biomass at a moderate temperature of 240 oC whereby the biochar yield was 20 wt%. Later on, she found out that biochar can be produced by pyrolysis with a higher yield of 40 wt% but operating at a higher temperature of 500 oC. The amount of biochar yield almost doubled from her yield from the torrefaction process. Explain whether any error involved in her experiment, then describe the error involved and suggest the method to improve the biochar yield.
Acclimatization has been one of the major obstacles to the use of tissue culture in crop improvement. Explain why this process is necessary for the ex vivo survival of tissue culture derived plants.
Briefly site the environmental factor by using the followings in plant design with suitable
example,
a) Reaction pathways to reduce byproduct toxicity
b) Avoiding non-routine events c) Design objective, constraints and optimization
