PAMP-triggered immunity in plants can activate over 1,000 genes in Arabidopsis via _________________ -mediated stimulation.
A)calcium ion
B)protein kinase
C)signal transduction
D)single transcription factor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PAMP-triggered immunity in plants activates a signaling cascade through signal transduction pathways, which results in the activation of over 1,000 genes in Arabidopsis. This ultimately leads to the plant's defense response against potential pathogens. Calcium ion, protein kinase, and single transcription factors are all involved in the signal transduction pathway but are not solely responsible for activating over 1,000 genes. Therefore, the best choice is C - signal transduction.
