Question

The complex world of plants – they are out there communicating in ways you never previously imagined. All questions are worth 3 points each. 1.Fungi can act as an intermediary as a “bridgework” for tree interactions. How so? 2.Find one of the chemical signaling molecules used to facilitate the interaction and describe its function. 3.How do plants protect themselves from attack against harmful bacteria and fungi? 4.Trees chemically protect themselves against herbivore attack as well. Interestingly enough plants can signal to others that they are under attack. Find such a response mediator and describe how it is initiated and its mode of action for protection. 5.All fruit trees are grafted. Sometimes a process called incompatibility occurs, what is responsible for this rejection?

Explanation / Answer

Answer =Fungi can act as an intermediary as a bridgework for tree interactions

1] Fungi are made up of tiny threads called micelium- it travels underground ,these trvel underground ,connecting the roots of different plants in an area.& in different species

2]different species together allowing them to communicate

3]They help plants locate water & provide certain nutrients minerals like phosphrous & nitrogen. , through mycelia strands around their roots.

4]Fungi nutrients protect plants from infection too by providing protective compounds stored in roots.& makes rhe plants immune system more effective

5] Plants feed their fungi carbohydrates on a consistant basis

6]Serve as a communicating network connecting even plants that are far away

7]Majority of plants live in in symbiotic association with fungi

sometimes when one plant suffers from damage other plant connect them through soil fungi protect themselves against future attack
