Answer to Question 1

 Treating flowers with silver thiosulphate (trade name Floralife) blocks the ethylene
receptor, thereby stopping ethylene's capability to function as a plant hormone.
 Placing horticultural commodities in hypobaric storage keeps the commodity under
vacuum and thereby does not enable ethylene to stay in contact with the commodity,
which in turn stops ethylene's capability to act.
 Treating horticultural commodities with levels of CO2 greater than 2 percent
reduces the capability of the ethylene receptor to accept ethylene, which in turn
blocks ethylene action.
 Genetically engineering plants that have a modified ethylene receptor that does not
accept ethylene blocks ethylene's action.

Answer to Question 2

 Decreasing the storage temperature
 Decreasing the oxygen levels to less than 8 percent
 Treating with inhibitors such as aminoethoxyvinylgly cine (AVG), aminooxyacetic
acid (AOA), or cobalt chloride
 Using antisense technology, more specifically, inserting the antisense constructs for
ACC synthase and/or ACC oxidase

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

For high blood pressure (hypertension), a new class of drug, called a vasopeptidase blocker (inhibitor), has been developed. It decreases blood pressure by simultaneously dilating the peripheral arteries and increasing the body's loss of salt.

Elderly adults are at greatest risk of stroke and myocardial infarction and have the most to gain from prophylaxis. Patients ages 60 to 80 years with blood pressures above 160/90 mm Hg should benefit from antihypertensive treatment.

Drugs are in development that may cure asthma and hay fever once and for all. They target leukotrienes, which are known to cause tightening of the air passages in the lungs and increase mucus productions in nasal passages.
