Miracle RiceRice is staple food in Asia. In the 1950s, Asia faced food shortage and an impending famine. If you have relatives that lived in Asia during the ’50s and ’60s, they may tell you that due to the rice shortage, many starved and those who were lucky had to supplement their diet with other crops, such as barley. In 1962, an organization focused on research and development of rice called International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) developed a high-yielding variety of rice by crossing the two types of rice from Indonesia and China. The result was ground breaking. The new variety called IR8 (India Rice 8) increased its yield as much as 10 times the traditional variety of rice. By the early 1970s, many rice farmers in India, the Philippines, and Vietnam switched to cultivating IR8 rice, making these countries into major rice exporters, preventing a mass famine in Asia, and saving millions of lives. 1) Is the IR8 rice variety considered a genetically modified organism (GMO)? Why or…

1a.Discovery of genes controlling Gibberellic Acid (GA) synthesis and perception became very important during the Green Revolution, and remain important today. Why? Select one: a. Mutants with reduced GA levels are dwarfs. Many dwarf plants were important for the Green Revolution because the shorter plants can invest more energy into economically important parts like seeds (instead of stem length). b. Mutants with reduced GA levels are more resistant to herbivore damage (like caterpillars), increasing plant yields. c. Mutants with reduced GA levels allowed farmers to control fruit ripening more accurately. d. Mutants with reduced GA levels have increased photosynthesis 1b. What features are important for overall plant form? Select one: a. Iterative development and capillary action b. Iterative development and apical dominance c. Apical dominance and stomatal conductance d. Phyllotaxis and capillary action

TCE Uptake by Transgenic Plants Plants used for phytoremediation take up organic pollutants, then transport the chemicals to plant tissues, where they are stored or broken down. Researchers are now designing transgenic plants with enhanced ability to take up or break down toxins. In 2007, Sharon Doty and her colleagues published the results of their efforts to design plants for phytoremediation of soil and air containing organic solvents. The researchers used Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Section 15.7) to deliver a mammalian gene into poplar plants. The gene encodes cytochrome P450, an enzyme involved in the breakdown of a range of organic molecules, including solvents such as TCE. FIGURE 28.16 shows data from one test on the resulting transgenic plants. FIGURE 28.16 TCE uptake from air by transgenic poplar plants. Indvioual potted plants were kept in separate seated containers with an initial level of TCE (trichloroethytene) around 15.0C0 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Samples of the air m the containers were taken daily and measured for TCE content. Controls included a tree transgenic for a Ti plasmid with no cytochrome P450 in it (vector control), and a bare-root transgenic tree (one that was not planted in soil. 3. On day 6, what was the difference between the TCE content of air around planted transgenic plants and that around vector control plants?
