The timing of germination is very important for the survival of a plant species.

If you were trying to discover what the specific mutation in the DNA was that lead to a non-functional GA/aleurone system, which tissues would you use for DNA sequencing analysis? Why?

Expert Solution

First you need to know about what GA is ? So

Gibberellins (GAs) are endogenous plant growth regulators, having tetracyclic, diterpenoid compounds

the presence of GA in active growing tissues i.e., shoot apices, young leaves and flowers

So Maily for this testing the part for dna sequencing analysis should be either the seed or embryo part of it

Main reason for it is seed contains embryo that is arrested to develop in to plant with appropriate environmental conditions to continue their life cycles.Breaking of seed dormancy to germination is controlled by some physical factors (light, temperature and moisture) and by the endogenous growth regulating hormones (GA and ABA). GA stimulates the seed germination whereas, ABA is involved in the establishment and maintenance of dormancy. GA exerts its influence in two manners, first by increasing the growth potential of embryo and second by inducing hydrolytic enzymes.During seed germination embryonic GA is released that triggers the weakness of seed cover by stimulating gene expression involved in cell expansion

Problem III. A very large population of a flowering plant species occurs in a lowland meadow. A small population of the same species occurs on a remote mountainous region more than 200 km away. You collect seeds and raise several plants from each population in the same greenhouse. You measure flower size on plants of each population and find the following: Mountainous region: mean flower diameter = 1.2 cm Lowland meadow: mean flower diameter = 5.2 cm Now on a...

The earth's temperature (which affects seed germination, crop survival in bad weather, and many other aspects of agricultural production) can be measured using either ground-based sensors or infrared-sensing devices mounted in aircraft or space satellites. Ground-based sensoring is tedious, requiring many replications to obtain an accurate estimate of ground temperature. On the other hand, airplane or satellite sensoring of infrared waves appears to introduce a bias in the temperature readings. To determine the bias, readings were obtained at five different...
