Exam 3 Flashcards
Another name for Drought
Osmotic stress
Perception of stress
Lack of turgor pressure
Freezing
Salinity of soil
What happens once stress is perceived by the plant
Production of aba, ethylene that start signal transduction
What does signal transduction end up changing because of signal transduction?
Transcription
What increase during transcription?
Lea proteins
Where are lea proteins found?
Seeds
2 types of lea proteins
Cadheeins
Chaperonins
Dehydrins
Unorganized associate with phospholipid membrane and stabilize it
Chaperonins
Engulf unfolded protein and allow it to fold
What also happens when transcription changes?
Increase in compatible spouted
Examples of compatible allures
Sugars
Amino acids
Proline
Sorbitol
Outcomes of changes in transcription (3)
Osmoregulation
Stress signaling
Macromolecule protection
Trehalose
Sugar that act like dehydrin proteins
What happens to the membrane when chilling occurs?
Membrane becomes leaky
Transition temperature
Membrane goes from liquid to gel. Low temp where membrane lose its fluidity
No double bonds and membrane, chilling tolerance
Rigid membrane not tolerant to chilling
More double bonds and membrane, chilling tolerance
More fluid and tolerant to chilling
Saturated and unsaturated chilling tolerance
Unsaturated chilling tolerant
Saturated chilling intolerant
Desaturases
Enzymes from chilling tolerant plant allow unsaturation
Acclimation
Plants prepare for the cold due to changes in gene expression
Supercool
Plants can go below freezing temperature of water without ice forming in the cytosol
Ice crystals in cytosol
Kill the plant and denature proteins
Ice crystals in cell wall
Okay
Mechanism for supercooling
Adding a solute
Agriculture today
Suit the land to the plant
Land institute goal
Suit the plant to the land
Goal of land institute
