Question
Chapter 26, Problem 4CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason behind planting non Bt producing plants adjacent to Bt producing plants to reduce the chances of developing Bt resistance in insects.
Introduction:
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a rod-shaped bacterium that produces a different types of insecticidal proteins that are active against larvae of many insects. Once ingested by insects, the protein crystals get solublized in the midgut. This protein then gets activated by midgut proteases and creates pores in the cell membrane leading to cell disruption and finally insect death.

- A microbiology professor noted that in the fall when the apples are ripe, her cow, appropriately called Tipsy would stagger home from the apple orchard at night. What possibilities could you offer to explain Tipsy's behavior? Why don't you feel this way when you consume apples from the grocery store? – this has to do with alcohol fermentation, remember the apples that are ripe fall from the trees and microbes begin to break them down.arrow_forwardNitrogen fixation is the processa. that converts organic nitrogen to NH3.b. by which plants and animals take up NO3–.c. by which bacteria convert NO3– to N2.d. by which N2 is converted to NH3 or NH4+.e.

- One of the most widely known symbioses between microorganisms and plants is that of rhizobia and legumes. The basis of this mutualistic, symbiotic relationship can be described by which of the following statements? Actually, all of these are accurate descriptions of the symbiosis between rhizobia and plants. Rhizobia help the plants expand access to minerals in the soil while the plant protects the rhizobia from predators and viruses. The rhizobia will conduct photosynthesis which allow the plants to access carbon without having to deplete their own energy to do carbon fixation. The rhizobia fix nitrogen for the plant while the plant fixes carbon which it shares with the rhizobia. The rhizobia will produce oxygen which will help the soil to maintain oxygenation and thus avoid pathogens.arrow_forwardWHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE PEST CONTROL MANAGEMENT?arrow_forwardAgrobacterium tumefaciens carries a _______ that enters dicotyledonous (dicot) plant cells, transforming the cells into tumor cells and causing crown gall disease.arrow_forward
