The loss of water from a plant by transpiration cools the leaf. Movement of water in transpiration requires both adhesion to the conducting walls and wood fibers of the plant and cohesion of the molecules to each other. A scientist wanted to increase the rate of transpiration of a crop species to extend its range into warmer climates. The scientist substituted a nonpolar solution with an atomic mass similar to that of water for hydrating the plants. What do you expect the scientist's data will indicate from this experiment?

Following are given some prediction about stress response which ultimately generate ROS;

a) Stress response activates the scavenging mechanism by ROS , these ROS is responsible for activating self-generation  mechanism by using RBOH

b) ROS have a negative effect on plant growth,  development,  and  yield

c) Almost every stress leads to the activation of ROS and its signal transduction

d) ROS indirectly induce acclimation mechanisms

Which of the following is the correct prediction about ROS activated by stress response?
