#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Three main classes of mutations affecting plant height have

been selected:

1. Gibberellin-insensitive dwarfs

2. Gibberellin-deficient mutants in which the gibberellin deficiency has been overcome by a second “suppressor” mutation, so the plants look closer to normal

3. Mutants with a constitutive gibberellin response (“slender” mutants)

Temperate forests 

Temperate forests are largely found between 40° and 60° N of the equator. 

Temperate rain forest (Evergreen): Temperatures are a little cooler, 5–25°C on average, and winters are mild, but there is abundant rainfall, usually exceeding 200 cm a year

Temperate Deciduous Forest (lose their leaves in winter):  Temperatures fall below freezing each winter but not usually below –12°C, and annual rainfall is generally between 75 and 200 cm. Soils are rich in organic and inorganic nutrients, and quite fertile.

Catabolite repression is exerted through a second messenger called cyclic AMP (cAMP) and the positive regulator protein called the catabolite repressor protein (CRP), a dimer.
