Question
Chapter 37, Problem 8TYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mutant plant that is unable to make methyl salicylate is not likely to survive in the wild.
Introduction:
Methyl salicylate is a molecule that is derived from salicylic acid. Its levels increase in the plant tissue when the plant is damaged and a systemic acquired resistance is induced by the hormones to protect the plant from further damage.

- 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.

In addition, many plants contain other types of chlorophylls and accessory pigments.
