Question
Chapter 37, Problem 2COQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The method to increase the resistance of a crop plant species to particular types of herbivores.
Introduction: Elicitors are compounds produced by pathogens which are responsible for increasing virulence of the pathogens. Protein kinases bind to the pathogen-associated elicitors and help the plant in protecting itself from the pathogenic attack. This is known as the first line of defense. Receptors also bind to the elicitors present in the cytosol in order to detect the presence of elicitors and protect the plants from pathogenic attack. This is known as second line of defense.

WHAT ARE THE SOIL FERTILITY ISSUES WHICH ARE LIMITING FACTORS OF SUCCESSFUL CROP PRODUCTION
If you were breeding cotton plants to have increased water uptake in dry soils, you could breed plants that contain more amino acids and carbohydrates in the root cells. Why would this be effective and why might it also negatively affect crop yield?
