Biologists at the University of Essex in the UK have found a way to influence photosynthesis to increase plant productivity by 27 percent.
As follows from the publication of the publication Nature Plants, experts have a way to increase the efficiency of plants in the conversion of energy. They helped plastocyanin, a transport protein containing copper, work better by adding iron to it.
The researchers also increased the amount of a key enzyme, sedoheptulose bisphosphatase, borrowing additional cellular mechanisms from other plant species and cyanobacteria. This made it possible to increase the efficiency of the use of water by the plant in the ratio of biomass produced to lost liquid.
As we previously wrote, the teachings from the USA have developed a repellent with an ingredient made from cedar and grapefruit peel.
