How does incomplete dominance differ from incomplete penetrance?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. Incomplete dominance refers to alleles at the same locus; incomplete penetrance refers to alleles at different loci.

  2. Incomplete dominance ranges from 0% to 50%; incomplete penetance ranges from 51% to 99%.

  3. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote is intermediate to the homozygotes; in incomplete penetrance, heterozygotes express phenotypes of both homozygotes.

  4. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote is intermediate to the homozygotes; in incomplete penetrance, some individuals do not express the expected phenotype

primary disruptions could be signaling the plant that a change in environmental conditions has occurred and that it’s time to respond by altering existing pathways or by activating stress-response pathways. At least five different types of stress-sensing mechanisms can be distinguished:

                       

                          COLUMN I

 

 

                              COLUMN II

 

A) Physical sensing

 

 

i) usually results from the detection of by-products that accumulate in cells due to the uncoupling of enzymatic or electron transfer reactions, such as the accumulation of ROS during stress caused by too much light.

 

 

B) Biophysical sensing

 

 

ii) often involves the presence of specialized proteins that have evolved to sense a particular stress; for example, calcium channels that can sense changes in temperature and alter Ca2+ homeostasis.

 

 

C) Metabolic sensing

 

 

iii) refers to modifications of DNA or RNA structure that do not alter genetic sequences, such as the changes in chromatin that occur during temperature stress.

 

 

D) Biochemical sensing

 

 

iv) refers to the mechanical effects of stress on the plant or cell structure, for example, the contraction of the plasma membrane from the cell wall during drought stress.

 

 

E) Epigenetic sensing

 

 

v) might involve changes in protein structure or enzymatic activity, such as the inhibition of different enzymes during heat stress.

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Several genes coding for enzymes associated with osmotic adjustment are turned on (up-regulated) by osmotic stress and/or salinity, and cold stress. These genes encode enzymes such as the following;
I) ∆′1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase, a key enzyme in the proline biosynthetic pathway
II) myo-Inositol 6-O-methyltransferase, a rate-limiting enzyme in the accumulation of the cyclic sugar alcohol called pinitol
III) Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in glycine betaine accumulation

There are the five groups of late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins found in plants

Match the following groups of LEA protein with its functional information;

 Group (family name)

                           Functional information

 

I) Group 1

   (D-19 family)

 

 

a) It is an abundant protein in cotton embryos, Each putative dimer of this group may bind as many as ten inorganic phosphates and their counterions

 

 

II) Group 2

    (D-11 family)

 

b) Possibly functions in ion sequestration to protect cytosolic metabolism When LE25 is expressed in yeast, it confers salt and freezing tolerance

 

 

III) Group 3

     (D-7 family)

 

c) In tomato, a gene encoding a similar protein is expressed in response to nematode feeding

 

 

IV) Group 4

    (D-95 family)

 

d) Contains more water of hydration than typical globular proteins Overexpression confers water deficit tolerance on yeast cells

 

 

V) Group 5

    (D-113 family)

 

e) Often localized to the cytoplasm or nucleus More acidic members of the family are associated with the plasma membrane May act to stabilize macromolecules at low water potential
