Chapter 29.3, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The process by which Browning and Gunning prevent photosynthesis from occurring in moss sporophytes and reason for preventing photosynthesis.
Introduction:
Specialized placental transfer tissue helps in transfer of nutrition from the mother plant to the embryo plant. And this process is known as matrotrophy. This function of placental transfer tissue was first discovered by Adrian Browning and Brian Gunning by an experiment.

Drain off excess alcohol from the buds and aseptically excise the anthers from each bud. Remove the filaments and culture the anther on one of the agar media provided. Label the stage of development of the bud on each petri dish as the anthers are cultured. Seal the Petri dishes with parafilm. Incubate in the dark at 26 to 28ºC for 4 to 8 weeks or until small plants can be seen growing out of the anthers. Then transfer to diffuse light. Record the results of the experiment in table form and submit the report. Observation: The culture was contaminated after 8 weeks of incubation…arrow_forward

- Discuss Concepts Baobab trees (Adansonia spp.) store water in their trunks (stems) and, although the trees have leaves, considerable photosynthesis also occurs in the trunks. Cacti too have water-storing, photosynthetic stems.

- Solar-induced fluorescence can be used to infer net photosynthesis. This is because this solar-induced fluorescence is able to measure the light that is used by the chlorophyll-a pigment (650-850nm). There is a linear relationship between this solar-induced fluorescence and the gross primary production of a plant. How does measuring chlorophyll-a pigment with solar-induced fluorescence help us infer net photosynthesis?arrow_forwardPractice bio question: Describe the origin of plastids and the evolutionary relationships among red algae, green algae, and plants.arrow_forwardAntifungal Activity of Red Dragon Peel (Hylocereus polyrhizus)ⓒ Rudi Hendra et al 2020 IOP Conf. Ser.: Mater. Sci. Eng. 833 012014 STATE THE HYPOTHESIS (In if-then format): Plants, when extracted, can produce dyes and the extracts have been used for different purposes such as the textile or food industry [1]. One potential plant that can be used as a natural dye is dragon fruit (Hylocereus cacti) or by another name Pitaya. Wybraniec and coworkers reported that dragon fruit has a potential as a source to produce red pigment and it's called betalains [2]. Betalain is a water-soluble pigment that gives color to flowers and fruits. Betalain pigments are divided into two groups, namely betacyanin which produces purplish red and betaxanthin which produce yellow-orange colors [2, 3]. In the dragon fruit peel, it is also containing pigments which are usually only discarded as food waste and have not been used optimally. This is very unfortunate because the fruit of the dragon fruit itself has…arrow_forward
