Gene controls the activity of flowers

Researchers from Edinburgh University, Scotland (UK) have discovered a plant gene that can control the activity of flowers in the night.

The new study found 12 plant genes that control flower activity at night.

Experts discovered 12 genes that work together in plants. This gene contains TOC1 protein with the effect of reducing plant activity at night.

This newly discovered gene has a flexible biological clock that adjusts light during the day and night in accordance with the energy needed to grow.

Professor Andrew Millar said that the new discovery is a success of the biological industry, which has led to a lot of research on the flowering and fruiting processes of plants.

The team also found that the new gene could control the activity of cells in the plant body, like unicellular algae. These 12 genes will also help photosynthesis and use of nitrogen gas as well as radiating incense according to the pace of the biological clock.

The results of the study are published in the journal Molecular Systems Biology.
