RNAi-based modification of amylopectin content in wheat occurs through decreased expression of starch-branching enzymes. If the

If siRNA against a starch-branching enzyme was transmitted to humans, then it may affect the expression of glycogen-branching enzymes. RNAi inhibits gene expression.

Glycogen-branching enzymes are similar to starch-branching enzymes because glycogen bonds are similar to those observed between amylopectin.

The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism used in molecular biology laboratories to inhibit the expression of target genes.

In the RNAi technique, a regulatory non-coding RNA called small interfering RNA (siRNA) that exhibits sequence complementary to the target gene sequence is used to inhibit and/or block the translation of the target mRNA (in this case, starch/glycogen-branching mRNA coding enzyme).

Plants adapted to the desiccating effects of the land environment and increased ultraviolet radiation with the evolution of ____
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

e. ​cutin

Explanation:

Plant exhibit many variations to withstand the temperature variations, desiccation and increased UV exposure which are some of the factors associated with land habitat. Cutin is a waxy substance that is found in the outer walls of the epidermal cells of plants. Cuticle in plants serves to make the outer most covering of aerial parts of the leaves and non-woody stem of herbaceous plants. The cuticle is made of cutin.

Cutin serves to protect the plant’s aerial surfaces from excess water loss. It also filters the excess UV light and thereby protects the underlying plant parts. The thickness of the cuticle varies in different plants depending upon the environmental conditions. The leaves of plants adapted to hot, dry climates have thick cuticles. The thickness of the cutin layer also varies in different parts of a plant. For example, the upper epidermis of leaf generally has a thicker cuticle than the shaded and relatively cooler lower epidermis.
