1.
Hypersensitive cell death (or HR) is a process of
programmed cell death in a plant that is associated
with the plant’s reaction to pathogens.
2.
Most people think plants
only take in CO2 and give
off oxygen, but the truth
is most plants actually
respire and give off CO2 as
well, during the night.

Very high light intensities will break down
chlorophyll, imparting a white, bleached
appearance to the leaves and resulting in a
decreased ability to carry out photosynthesis.
A base fertilizer with multiple sources of each particular
element is a good choice—this diversity allows the plant
to choose the source from which the nutrients are taken.
If you can’t store your harvested crops in a cold room
they should be at least be stored somewhere cool,
where temperatures never exceed 75°F.

In order for a disease-resistant
plant protein to be effective and
result in no disease there needs
to be a dominant resistance
gene in the plant and a
corresponding avirulence gene
in the pathogen.
Seedlings require a photoperiod of 18 hours of light
followed by six hours of darkness.

Tropisms are plant movements directed
toward or away from a stimulus.
Plants start preparing for
death long before harvest,
but live for some time after.
