Answer:

by phenotypically identifying plants unable (or with an altered ability) to synthesize auxins. This approach is called reverse genetics

Explanation:

Reverse genetics is a strategy widely used in molecular genetics aimed at analyzing the function of target genes by identifying defective phenotypes of one or more organisms following the disruption of the gene. In this case, a mutagenesis approach (i.e., irradiation with X-rays) was used to induce mutations in the gene/s involved in auxin production. Subsequently, the resulting mutant phenotypes, i.e., plants with an altered ability to synthesize auxin, can be used to reveal the biological function of individual (mutated) gene sequences.

What is an example of a plant root?
Julli [10]

The growth and metabolism of the plant root system is supported by the process of photosynthesis occurring in the leaves.

Predict what would happen to a plant with a genetic defect that produced no central vacuole.
AlexFokin [52]
The plant would shrivel up and die. The central vacuole holds water maintaining turgor pressure in the plant, and without the vacuole, the plant would shrivel.
