During the identification of Nicotiana benthamiana, an ancient tobacco plant in Australia, Queesland University researchers discovered the secret of longevity of the plant called this Pitjuri native tribe .

"We found this is a plant version of immunocompromised mice commonly used in laboratories," IB Times said on Friday, November 6, to lead Julia Julia, who led the research.

After the calculation, the team found that Pitjuri species have existed in nature for about 750,000 years, surpassing all the harsh conditions of the weather and the environment. To do this, Pitjuri put effort to germinate, grow, flower and create seeds quickly after rain , even for a small amount.

According to Bally, to be able to produce large amounts of seeds and disperse seeds to wait for the next rain, Pitjuri had to trade off with disease resistance. Therefore, it is the ideal research object to establish a foundation for growing vegetables in sterile conditions and with little water as in the universe.
