#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Given some enzymes of ethylene biosynthetic pathway and its character;

A) ACC synthase                                                               i) It is an unstable, cytosolic enzyme. Its level is regulated by environmental and internal factors, such as wounding, drought stress, flooding, and auxin

B) ACC oxidase                                                                  ii) It catalyzes the last step in ethylene biosynthesis, the conversion of ACC to ethylene

                                                                                                iii) Its activity can be the rate-limiting step in ethylene biosynthesis

                                                                                                iv) That is encoded by a multigene family that is differentially regulated

                                                                                                v) It is present in such low amounts in plant tissues and is very unstable and also difficult to purify the enzyme  for biochemical analysis

                                                                                                vi) These enzymes belong to the Fe2+/ascorbate oxidase superfamily

Find out the correct combination from the given enzymes and its character?

Which of the following processed are involve in cell enlargement in plant?
a) Osmotic uptake of water across the plasma membrane is driven by the gradient in water potential (∆Yw)
b) Turgor pressure builds up because of the rigidity of the cell wall
c) Biochemical wall loosening occurs, allowing the cell to expand in response to turgor pressure
