The induction of α-amylase synthesis in barley aleurone layers by gibberellin, given some statements about after the induction of GA into the aleurone layer, and allows some transcriptional gene function inside the nucleus such as;

a) GA-MYB is a negative regulator of α-amylase transcription

b) The sequence of the gibberellic acid response element (GARE) in the α-amylase gene promoter is similar to the DNA sequence to which MYB proteins bind.

c) Synthesis of GA-MYB mRNA begins to increase as early as 1 h after gibberellin treatment, preceding the increase in a-amylase mRNA by several  hours

d) A mutation in the GARE that prevents MYB binding also prevents  α-amylase expression.

e) GA-MYB can therefore be defined as a primary or early response gene, while the α-amylase gene is a secondary or late response gene

f) The secretory pathway requires GA stimulation of the calcium-calmodulin– independent pathway.

Which of the following statements is incorrect about this transcriptional gene?

In given Relationship of oxygen production to flash energy, the first evidence for the interaction between the antenna pigments and the reaction centre, What conclusion can be drawn about based on graph;


a.) several hundred pigments are associated with each reaction centre and that each reaction centre must operate four times to produce 1 molecule of oxygen—hence the value of 2500 chlorophylls per O2

b.) low light intensity of the curve, an increase in the number of photons stimulates a proportional increase in oxygen evolution. Thus, the slope of the curve measures the quantum yield for oxygen production

c.) The quantum yield for a particular process can range from 0 →if that process does not respond to light to 1.0→if every photon absorbed contributes to the process by forming a product

d.) O2 require more than a single photochemical event to be formed, and therefore have a lower quantum yield of formation than the photochemical quantum yield. It takes about ten photons to produce one molecule of O2, so the quantum yield of O2 production is about 0.1
