Which of the following is the function of cytokinin?
A. activation of defense response from biotrophic and hemi-biotrophic pathogens
B. structurally related to animal steroid hormones for growth and development
C. long distance (root-to-shoot) signals for nitrogen assimilation
D. defense from necrotrophic pathogens and herbivore insects
Following infection with a pathogen, one response is to spread an alarm signal to increase defenses and antimicrobial compounds throughout the plant body and the network of plants connected by mycorrhizae.

- Which of the following best describes evidence of a hypersensitive response? Select one: a. The bending of the coleoptile towards light. b. The growth of roots down and shoots up. c. When cells around an infection site die, depriving the pathogen of nutrients and preventing it from spreading. d. When plants elongate in response to being shaded. e. When stomata close despite plenty of CO 2 and water.arrow_forwardIn a practice known as crop rotation, farmers alternate a crop of legumes (plants like beans, whose roots bear nodules containing Rhizobium) with a crop of non- legumes. What is the benefit of this practice?arrow_forwardDetermine the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices below. I. Collenchyma cells stay alive in mature tissue.; II. Variably shaped cells of sclerenchyma die when they are mature.; III. The thick cell walls of sclerenchyma contain a high proportion of durable compounds such as pectin which lend sturdiness to plant parts and help them resist stretching and compression.; IV. In collenchyma, chitin imparts flexibility to these cells’ primary wall, which is thickened unevenly where three or more of the cells abut one another. All statements are true. Only three (3) statements are true. Only two (2) statements are true. Only one (1) statement is true. None of the statements is true.arrow_forward
