Several genes coding for enzymes associated with osmotic adjustment are turned on (up-regulated) by osmotic stress and/or salinity, and cold stress. These genes encode enzymes such as the following;

I) ∆′1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase, a key enzyme in the proline biosynthetic pathway

II) myo-Inositol 6-O-methyltransferase, a rate-limiting enzyme in the accumulation of the cyclic sugar alcohol called pinitol

III) Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in glycine betaine accumulation

When Lucifer yellow, a small dye, is injected into a neuron of the retina, neighboring neurons become rapidly labeled. If the retina is incubated in dopamine prior to Lucifer yellow injection, only the injected neuron becomes labeled. These findings suggest which of the following?

I. Neurons of the retina communicate via gap junctions.

II. Dopamine is transferred between cells via gap junctions.

III. Dopamine decreases the permeability of gap junctions.
