These cellular processes lead to whole plant transport(aka Bulk Flow)
• Hydrostatic pressure pulls sap down
• Tension pulls sap (water) up• Facilitated by changes in
water potential between neighboring cells– Diffusion/Osmosis– Active Transport
• Vessel structure leads to increased transport efficiency– Xylem:
• Dead…– Phloem:
• So what…

• Facilitated by the physical properties of water– Adhesion/Cohesion
• Water molecules on the march!

Food for thought:
How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis similar? How are they
different? Think about it on an organismal level, on an organelle level, and on a
biochemical level.

No, really, so what?
• Where does the electron from water go once it replaces the electron in the chlorophyll molecule in the center of PSII (PS 680)?

Photorespiration• A drain on Calvin Cycle Energy that produces no ATP,
it does produce CO2
• Why? Rubisco has an affinity for O2
• …and when [O2] build up in cells (and [CO2] drop)…
• Rubisco binds RuBP to O2 instead of CO2
• Why? Rubisco evolved before O2 concentrations were appreciable in atmosphere
• Can drain as much as 50% of photosynthetic energy away.

Fighting Photorespiration the C4 way
• High Light, High heat (think Corn).
• What happens when it gets too hot, and transpiration increases?
• What happens to [CO2] and [O2]?• How do plants combat this?
• Fix CO2 into PEP Carboxylase• (4-C compound)• Deliver 4-C compound to Calvin Cycle in
Bundle Sheath (where [O2] are lower.• Perform Calvin Cycle in Bundle Sheath • Transport Sugars (Sucrose) to Phloem• Spatial Separation!
![Page 48: Botany Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568165ef550346895dd915c8/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Fighting Photorespiration the CAM way
• What are conditions like in the desert?
• What will the stomata do?• How will the plants get CO2?
• Open stomata at night!
• Fix CO2 into organic acids(Crussalean Acid Metabolism) at night, store in vaculoles
• During day, when light is available…
• Temporal Separation!

Botany Overview
• 1st Remarks:
• “Plants Can’t Run”• Plants have covered
the globe.• The basic
information is usually the most important.
![Page 50: Botany Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568165ef550346895dd915c8/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Why Study Plant Hormones/Plant Responses to
the environment?• Ties into the theme: “Plants can’t run.”• Allows us to look at cellular (and sub-cellular
processes) and relate them to organism function.
• Gives us a glimpse of how organisms respond to stimuli and interact with an ecosystem (abiotic and biotic forces).
• In a sense, this is physiological ecology
![Page 51: Botany Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568165ef550346895dd915c8/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Basic Concepts related to plant hormones
• Small molecules that can pass through cell membrane and trigger receptor molecules.
• Hormones affect plant growth and development by affecting:– Cell division, Cell Elongation, Cell Differentiation
• Response to a hormone doesn’t depend so much on absolute amounts of a hormone, but depends on relative concentrations of certain hormones relative to other hormones.– Plants are under the influence of multiple hormones b/c they
respond to multiple stimuli (e.g. temperature, day length, osmotic balance). Certain hormone balance causes a specific response (e.g. phototropism, flowering, fruit ripening, etc.)
![Page 52: Botany Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568165ef550346895dd915c8/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
General Signal Transduction
![Page 53: Botany Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568165ef550346895dd915c8/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
![Page 54: Botany Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568165ef550346895dd915c8/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Action Spectrum for plants control photomorphogenesis (plant growth and development)
• Two major classes of Photoreceptors:– Blue Light Receptors
• Phototropism (Photoropin)• AM opening of stomata• (Zeaxanthin)• Slowing of hypocotyl
elongation (cryptochrome)– Phytochromes
• Red Light/Far Red Light Receptors
![Page 55: Botany Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568165ef550346895dd915c8/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Because Plant Cells have Phytochromes• Phytochromes are
receptors for red light• Consists of two domains
– One receives the light– One has kinases that link
the reception of light with cellular response
• Revert between two isomers (Pr and Pfr)– Pr = Red light (660nm)– Pfr = Far Red light (730nm)
![Page 56: Botany Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568165ef550346895dd915c8/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

Phytochromes also set circadian rhythms
• Circa = approximately; dies = day• Cyclic variations based on 24 period• What changes?
– Humidity, temperature, light• How do plants respond?
– Plants respond by opening and closing stomata and synthesizing certain enzymes
• Caveat: this rhythm is internal, but it is set by an external stimulus: light
• Phytochromes also signal plants when to flower. This is called…phtoperiodism. – Why keyed to day length?
