Full Description
This exam focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying induced plant responses to insect herbivory. Key topics include the role of secondary metabolites and gene expression changes that activate defensive responses.
An understanding of these molecular processes is vital for advancing agricultural methods aimed at enhancing plant defenses, contributing to food security and ecological balance.
Students are expected to articulate their knowledge of molecular pathways and specific genetic changes in plants triggered by insect feeding.
Verbal assessments should reflect comprehension of contemporary research on induced defenses and their potential applications in agriculture.
Sample Questions
- What role do secondary metabolites play in plant defense mechanisms against herbivores?
- Explain the significance of gene expression changes in the activation of plant defenses.
