Question
Chapter 39, Problem 13TYU
Summary Introduction
To discuss: How the grazing of shoot tips by an herbivore affects the health, structure, physiology and biochemistry of a plant and which hormones would cause these effects / changes.
Introduction:
Plant-eating animals and insects are a kind of stress for plants. This mechanical stress due to wounding will produce the gas ethylene. This ethylene is a gaseous hormone responsible for the formation of triple response in plants.

You have been chosen as the lead student gardener for the CSUMB Future Farmers of America Club (FFAC). Your club is looking to you and your Bio211 plant experience to guide them. You arrive at the new FFAC garden plots and notice that while there are many fruits on the apple tree, they seem to remain hard, sour, and green. Your club mates need the red, sweet apples in just a few days for the apple competition.
Choose the best hormone to apply and the reason supporting its use:
Select one:
a. Apply ethylene to the apples to increase ripening.
b. Apply ethylene to slow ripening and increase chlorophyll levels.
c. Apply auxin to increase parthenocarpy
d. Apply gibberellins to increase fruit size.
e. Apply auxins to decrease apical dominance and increase water intake.

The dashed lines show the proline and protein content of healthy plants 10 days prior to treatment. Which of the following statements would most likely describe the growth of corn plants in this study? When there is a decrease in the number of grasshoppers (dependent variable) measured against proline and protein content (independent variables), the corn plants would have slower growth and be smaller than the control plants.
