Which of the following experimental observations (some real, some contrived) would not be consistent with our current understanding of cytokinesis?

#SCPH01 Biochemistry
  1. Anti-myosin antibodies injected in a dividing cell cause cytokinesis to stop.

  2. When the myosin II gene is mutated, cells undergo nuclear division, but not cytokinesis.

  3. Anti-actin antibodies injected into dividing cells have no effect on cytokinesis.

  4. Actin filaments seen in micrographs are aligned parallel to the cleavage furrow.

Following are certain strategies used by pathogen to attack over the host plant that describe plant-pathogen interactions:

                      I                                                                                             II

A. Necrotrophic pathogens                              i) most of the plant tissue remains alive and only minimal cell damage can be observed, as the pathogens feed on substrates provided by their host

B. Biotrophic pathogens                                 ii) In which the host cells are kept alive as described for biotrophic  Pathogens and followed by a necrotrophic stage, in which the pathogens can cause extensive tissue damage

C. Hemibiotrophic pathogens                         iii) attack their host by secreting cell wall–degrading enzymes or toxins, which eventually kill the affected plant cells, leading to extensive tissue maceration. This dead tissue is then colonized by the pathogens and serves as a food source

Some given facts regarding effector molecules such as;

a) HC-toxin-induced plasma membrane hyperpolarization in guard cells causes massive K+ uptake and permanent stomatal opening

b) Xanthomonas, are proteins that target the plant cell nucleus and causes change in gene expression, called transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors bind to the host plant DNA and activate the expression of genes

c) Fusicoccin, a cyclic peptide, acts on the enzyme histone deacetylase in the nucleus, and may have a compromising effect on the expression of genes involved in defense

d) Gibberellins accelerate growth, resulting in bigger plants when compared with uninfested plants. The gibberellins produced by the fungi are identical to those produced endogenously by the plant
