scientists reprogram plants for drought tolerance
source: lancaster farming 2/21/15/aaas
arabidopsis plants respond to drought conditions by producing a stress hormone called aba. this hormone slows down plant growth and leads to a decrease in the plant’s use of water.
aba binds to specific receptors in the plant that cause the guard cells on the leaf surfaces to close the stomatal openings through which water vapor can normally pass. this reduces water loss during the drought conditions.
although it has been suggested that spraying plants with aba during a drought could be beneficial, it is not practical. the chemical is expensive to produce and quickly loses its ability to bind to cell receptors in the plant cells.
recently, however, scientists have found a way to modify the aba receptors in arabidopsis plants so they can be activated by another chemical that is both stable and inexpensive.
69 describe how the shape of molecules, such as the hormone aba, is critical to their function in the arabidopsis plant. [1]
70 explain how the response of the guard cells to a drought is part of a feedback mechanism. [1]

Type the correct answer in each box. use numerals instead of words. amanda is placing an order for running shoes and leather boots for her footwear boutique. she needs a total of 48 pairs of shoes and twice as many pairs of running shoes as leather boots. set up the two equations that can be used to find the number of each type of shoe that amanda needs to order. let the equation that represents the total number of pairs of shoes be referred to as constraint 1. let constraint 2 refer to the equation that describes the ratio of the number of running shoes to leather boots.
