🔬RIKEN discovers a plant peptide that becomes resistant to drying
“RIKEN, Environmental Resources Science Research Center, etc.” The plant which does not have information transmission nerve between tissues exchanges information between root and leaf by using mobile CLE25 peptide produced in the body, It is improving dry stress tolerance “.
This result can be expected to lead to the application of plant peptides to plant growing environments such as the creation of crops that are resistant to environmental stress including drying and the development of functional fertilizers.
Prior to being published in the international scientific journal “Nature”, the results of this research will be published online (4th April: Japan time April 5).
