Question

It’s not a pea, but before Mendel, Josef Kölreuter (“KOL-roy-tur”) hybridized this organism and demonstrated inheritance of both maternal and paternal genes. After protein purification, affinity tags can be cleaved at an E·N·L·Y·F·Q sequence with a protease from a pathogen that infects this organism. (15[1])Edward East first described quantitative (15[1])trait inheritance after studying corolla length in this organism’s longiflora species. This organism’s N gene upregulates (*) salicylic acid production to resist a pathogen that also (10[1])infects tomatoes. (10[3])Muscarine (10[1])and a compound (10[3])from this organism name the two types (10[1])of cholinergic (10[4])receptors. (10[2])The first-discovered (10[2])virus causes a mosaic (10[3])pattern (10[1])in this (10[2])nightshade, (-5[1])whose xylem transports an alkaloid for storage (10[1])in its leaf vacuoles. For 10 points, name this plant that defends against (10[1])herbivory using nicotine. ■END■ (10[5])

ANSWER: tobacco [or Nicotiana; accept Nicotiana longiflora or Nicotiana tabacum; accept tobacco etch virus or tobacco mosaic virus; prompt on N. longiflora or N. tabacum by asking “can you be less specific?”]
