Title: Suppose you want to change a plant that produces simple leaves into one that produces compound leave
Post by: leaf88 on Apr 27, 2014
I need help with this question.  Thanks ^-^

Suppose you want to change a plant that produces simple leaves into one that produces compound leaves instead. Which experimental approach is most likely to succeed?
Suppose you want to change a plant that produces simple leaves into one that produces compound leaves instead. Which experimental approach is most likely to succeed?
    A)Engineer the plant to reduce PHAN gene expression.
    B)Treat developing seeds with additional auxin morphogen.
    C)Engineer the plant to increase PHAN gene expression.
    D)Expose the shoot apical meristems (SAMs) to more light.

Over-expression of the PHAN gene in a transgenic plant with simple leaves would likely result in the formation of compound leaves.
