Which example illustrates that plants have a signal transduction pathway that leads to the activation of genes for proteinase inhibitors?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wound responses illustrate that plants can use signal transduction pathways to produce chemical defenses only when they are needed.After a leaf is chewed or injured,a plant produces proteinase inhibitors,chemicals that destroy the digestive enzymes of a predator feeding on them.The proteinase inhibitors are produced throughout the plant,not just at the wound site.
