The effect of photoperiods or daily duration of light hours (and dark periods) on the growth and development of plants, especially flowering, is called photoperiodism. Photoperiodism was first studied by Gamer and Allard (1920). They observed that 'Maryland Mammoth' variety of tobacco could be made to flower in summer by reducing the light hours with artificial darkening. It could be made to remain vegetative in winter by providing extra light.

Andre the Giant had a somatotropinoma, which is a tumor that secretes too much hormone on its own (without the need for outside stimulation). Where would this tumor be located, and what hormone is being secreted from this tumor (2 pts)? What hormone normally stimulates somatotroph cells (1 pt)? What happens next in this pathway (continue explaining the pathway as if there wasn't a tumor) (5 pts)? What negative feedback should be affecting the somatotropinoma (3 pts), and why might it not be working (2 pts)? Why is this condition dangerous if not treated (2 pts)? One of the treatments for this type of tumor is somatostatin (SS), which actually also affects another pituitary pathway. What pathway also responds to SS, and specifically HOW is that pathway affected (2 pts)? Based on this information, what other hormonal disorders can SS be used to treat (note, we're not asking about the treatment of the somatotropinoma in this question) (1 pt)? 2 pts for essay formatting, grammar, spelling.

Cells are attached to one another through adherens junctions containing cadherin, catenins, and actin rings. They are attached to basal lamina through integrins. Paracrine factors can repress the expression of genes encoding for these cellular components, causing the cell to lose polarity, lose attachment to the basal lamina, and lose cohesion with other neighboring cells. The above describes which of the following processes:
  1. Mesenchymal-epithelial transition
  2. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition
  3. The Wnt pathway of JNK-1 transcription and gene expression
  4. Filopodia transition to Lamellipodia
