Q

step 1 of PTI

A

microbe/pathogen specific molecules provide microbe or pathogen associated molecular patterns MAMPS OR PAMPS that are recognized bt pattern recognition receptors PRR in plant cells membrane. MAMPS OR PAMPS
binding lead to activation of genes in nucleus and immunity response
IF SUCCESS THEN IMMUNITY

Q

STEP 2 and 3

A

pathogens deliver virulence effectors to both the plant cells apoplast to block PAMP OR MAMP perception and to the plant cells interior to block signalling to PTI
IF SUCCESS THEN VIRULENCE AND DISEASE

Q

Step 4 and 5

A

intracellular receptors recognize and bind effector molecules. that leads to their activation, signalling and gene expression leading to effector triggered immunity ETI

Q

hypersensitive response process

A
  1. stromata close keeping out pathogens
  2. reactive oxygen species are produced to target pathogen
  3. cell walls are reinforced to prevent pathogen movement
  4. cells in the infected area rapidly die by suicide.

Q

proteinase inhibitor is an induced defence, a wound response hormone called ____ is produced at the damage site , and induces the production of proteinase inhibitors in undamaged tissues

Q

signal transduction pathway that prepares undamaged cells for attack

A
  1. systemin is released from damaged cells
  2. it travels through phloem and binds to membrane receptors on target cells
  3. the activated receptors trigger a series of chem reactions that synthesize the hormone jasmonic acid
  4. jasmonic acid activates a cytolic signalling oathway that induces the production of proteinase inhibitors.

potato plants
- contain _____ as defense against insects
- high conc in ____ low conc in _____. levels increase in tubers in response to
- light
- warm temperatures

A

solanin, fruit, tubers

24
Q

cyanogenic glucosides
- found in _____
- cause release of ____

  • symptoms :
A

LEGUMES, HCN,nerve damage

25
Rapeseed oil breeding in saskatchewan and manitoba
26
terpenes are key components in:
herbs, spices, essential oils, perfumes
27
what is the “talking trees”
when an insects start eating a tree, that tree produced volatile monoterpenes to signal other plants to increase their defense
28
terpenes are built from _______ units including C10 ______, C15_____.”, C20 _______
5 carbon, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes
29
sesquiterpene synthases convert ____ ________ into __________
farnesyl diphosphate, sesquiterpenes
30
diterpene synthases convert _____ into various _____ that can be mon or bifunctional
GGOO, diterpenes
31
bifunctional terpenes have ____ active sites, monofunctional has ____
2,1
32
terpenes are stored in hairs, glands and ducts, bc:
they are toxic to plant cells
33
define demestication
cultivating or taming organisms to accentuate traits that are considered desirable for humans.
34
what was the green revolution
movement to increase yield by high yield variety seeds, irrigation, more than one harvest a year, feetilizers, pesticides, mechanization
35
when did the green revolution begin?
1943,
36
37
bengal famine
the worlds worst food disaster in eastern india in 1943
38
green evolution is an international effort funded in 1943 by:
rockfeller foundation, ford foundation, many developing country governments
39
effect of high yielding semi dwarf rice, wheat and disease resistancr
dramatically increased crop yields for the same acreage of land
40
problem with fertilizer and irrigation on crops and the solution
lots of straw biomass due to plants shading each other and having to grow taller. Solution: semi dwarf
41
key person in the green revolution
norman borlaug
42
developed semi dwarf, disease resistant, day neutral wheat.
Norman borlaug
43
why are semidwarf rice and wheat able to be so low
defective GA signalling
44
lodging problem in plants
tall cereal crops bend in response to rain and wind.
45
dwarf wheat plants are produced by cloning
defective genes that disrupt GA biosynthesis
46
orphan crops
crops that dont get a lot of attention because they arent traded internationally
47
CRISPR-cas 9
uses a guide RNA to direct cas9 enzymes to a matching DNA sequence. cas then makes a double stranded break on DNA. the cell repaird this break through non homologous end joining NHEJ which scientists exploit to disable or edit genes
