Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Flowering in plants is a process affected by photoperiodism. These photoperiodic responses presented by the plants are predictable and help in categorizing plants into two major categories. These are long-day plants, which flower during the season when days are longer than nights, and short-day plants, which flower in a season when nights are longer.

in flowering control of plant, describe a situation wherein there are mutations in at least one or all of the genes responsible for control of the floral development.
What will be the flower structure of a plant in which expression of the following genes is inhibited in the specified whorls? a. Expression of class B genes is inhibited in the second whorl, but not in the third whorl. b. Expression of class C genes is inhibited in the third whorl, but not in the fourth whorl. c. Expression of class A genes is inhibited in the first whorl, but not in the second whorl. d. Expression of class A genes is inhibited in the second whorl, but not in the first whorl.
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.

- Under which of the following conditions would pollen from an S2S5 plant successfully pollinate an S1S5 flower? a. Using pollen from a carpelate flower to fertilize a staminate flower would be successful. b. If the plants used gametophytic self-incompatibility, half of the pollen would be successful. c. If the plants used sporophytic self-incompatibility, half of the pollen would be successful. d. Pollen from an S2S5 plant can never pollinate an S1S5 flower.arrow_forwardCan you clearly type the answers to the all the parts to this question please a) What is the role of the LEAFY gene in floral development? (b) What is the phenotype of the leafy mutant? (c) Most of the ABC program genes are directly regulated by the transcription factor LEAFY (LFY). Still, LFY is expressed broadly throughout the floral meristem when the discrete A, B, and C domains are established. Discuss how this single broadly expressed transcription factor can generate distinct domains of ABC gene expression. Feel free to use diagrams.arrow_forwardThe ABCDE Model of flower development dictates the combination of transcription factors require to initiate each whorl of a flower. Based on the diagram below, what would happen if: Carpels and ovules Sepal Petal Stamen 2 4 Whorl A Genes E 25-40 The ABCDE model of floral organ determination in Arabidopsis In addition to the A-, B-, and C-function genes of the ABC model, this model includes two additional gene classes, D and E. In the ABCDE model, class A + E genes specify sepals; class A + B + E, petals; class B +C +E, stamens; class C + E, carpels; and class C+ D + E, ovules. 1. Gene D was non-functional: 2. Gene E was non-functional: 3. Only Gene A was functional: 4. Gene B and E were non-functional: 5. Only Gene A and Gene E were functional: Hint: If Gene A was non-functional the flower would have no sepals or petals, it would be composed of only stamens and carpels.arrow_forward
- Plants and animals usually battle each other; describe why and how this occurs. Once animal-pollinated flowers evolved, a new type of plant–animal interaction was possible; describe it. How is it possible for a mutation in aplant to be beneficial for both the plant and for an animal?arrow_forwardWhat did Went's experiments with the gelatin block demonstrate? A. Plants cannot be induced to bend during growth unless they are exposed to an indirect source of light. B. Light induces the coleoptile to produce a diffusible substance that moves to the growing region of a plant where it stimulates cells to elongate. C. Gelatin can enhance the movement of a soluble factor from the growing region of a plant to the coleoptile where it accelerates growth. D. When a plant tip is removed from a growing plant, the plant acquires the ability to bend toward the lightarrow_forwardHow would plant development change if the functions of the genes SHOOTMERISTEMLESS (STM) and MONOPTEROUS (MP) were reversed? a. The embryo–suspensor axis would be reversed. b. The embryo–suspensor axis would be duplicated. c. The root–shoot axis would be reversed. d. The root–shoot axis would be duplicated.arrow_forward
- How can synthetic promoters alter plants system? A. Introduction of a heterologous DNA into plants directly manipulates the regulatory elements or expression of endogenous genes. B. Development of a phytosensor combined with signal transduction pathway activates signal to detect pathogens. C. Utilization of an engineered DNA - binding domains and catalytic effector results to modified signal responses.arrow_forwardThe image below 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.
