A substance that can help cultivate crops resistant

Kobe University research team found that the main component of the blade odor "2-hexenal" some vegetables can improve heat resistance. This helps to foster conditions in the global warming heat crops.

Many plants have the potential to withstand four or five degrees Celsius, but at room temperature, which endure high temperature shutdown mechanism in the state. If the temperature rises sharply, plants respond to Rat Insulin-like growth factor 1 ELISA Kit http://www.cusabio.com/ELISA_Kit-84020/ will be too late to react, leading to plant growth retardation.

Yamauchi professor at Kobe University research team led by Yasuo pointed leaves of many plants generate a lot after the break will be called 2-hexenal volatiles, which is the main component of the blade odor. This material will be concentrated in high-temperature environments encountered during a plant, then it will be like a fuse general "tipping" the body's coping mechanisms of plants, repair damaged proteins due to high temperature, so that the plant gradually withstand high temperature test.

In the experiment, the research team with formulations containing 2-hexenal sprayed cruciferous plant - Arabidopsis, and place it into a room temperature of 45 ° C for two hours. As a result, as compared with no 2-hexenal spray Arabidopsis, the former higher than 60% survival rate. In other similar experiments, 2-hexenal sprayed cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes, harvest the plants are sprayed with the preparation of higher than fruits and vegetables.

The researchers said that 2-hexenal from the plant itself, its agents likely to be accepted merchants and consumers. To make such preparations as soon as possible to achieve a practical level, the research team is working with companies to develop relevant technologies together.
