Document Summary
Wobain is an inhibitor of sodium-potassium atpase. More specific response r-receptors (lots of genes in plants that encode these) Virus comes in and gets to r-rec, change in conformation in r-rec, cascade of reactions affects peptide hormones (we have this in common with lants) Peptide hormones will induce plant hormones, they will travel in plant circulatory system, and generate the immune response (e. g. salycilic acid) All the plant has to do is methylate the salycilic acid. Airborne signal can reach other leaves very quickly. Plants have really rapid immune response (faster then us) Airborne viruses if only we could develop something like this making us immune. Insects have amino acids in their plasma can store amino acids. We have to convert them because we don"t have the ability to store them. Nothing compared to the amount of erythrocytes in our system. This is because insects do not need to transport oxygen in their cells.
