WRKY plant-specific group of transcription factors that play important role in many plant metabolic and developmental processes such as;

a) It contain a 30 amino acid region named for the conserved amino acid sequence WRKYGQK in its N-terminal domain

b) It is an important regulators of plant–pathogen interactions as well as senescence

c) WRKY53 is involved in the regulation of dark-induced leaf senescence

d) In Arabidopsis, leaf senescence is delayed in knockout mutants of the WRKY53 gene

e) WRKY53 also binds to the promoter of the WRKY53 gene, inhibiting its own expression in a negative feedback loop

Which of the following given prediction about WRKY transcription factor is correct?

Two major sources of mutation are radiation and reactive oxygen species (ROS).The reactive oxygen species hypothesis for aging postulates that 

1) Senescence results from the accumulation of DNA, lipid, and protein damage inflicted by ROS of mitochondrial origin; and

2) Mitochondria of long-lived species should produce high ROS than do mitochondria of short-lived species.

3) the capacity of mitochondria to consume ROS might distinguish long-lived species from short-lived species, rather than differences in ROS generation.

Cellular senescence may have evolved to protect organisms against cancer. Instead of dividing out of control, the cells die. Cellular senescence appears to be regulated by several tumor suppressor genes, especially p53.what is the most appropriate reason behind this,

1) Transcription factor p53 is thought to suppress tumorigenesis by causing cell arrest and senescence in response to short telomeres, DNA damage, and viral or external signals to divide

2) This factor can stop the cell cycle, cause cellular senescence in rapidly dividing cells, instruct genes to initiate cellular apoptosis, and activate DNA repair enzymes.

3) Induction of apoptosis or cellular senescence by p53 always beneficial.
