A new Australian study says the discovery is based on the discovery of a "highway" in some plant leaves that affects the efficiency of photosynthesis- - with a much higher number of intercellular filaments than other plants - and is expected to develop ways to increase food crop yields.
intercellular wire is a channel between plant cells that is surrounded by a membrane of matter, transporting various substances between cells.
its size is so small that it can put more than 25,000 cell filaments on the profile of a human hair.
Australian National University said in a statement that its researcherflorence Florence Daniela and others have found that intercellular filaments act like "highways" in plants, just as more roads in cities can make traffic more smooth, and some plants with a large number of cells are more efficient at photosynthesis.
corn, for example, is a plant with high photosynthesis efficiency, with 10 times as many cells in its leaves as plants with less photosynthesis efficiency.
Daniela says that the photosynthesis of crops is usually called C3 or C4, corn, sorghum and other crops use C4, photosynthesis is more efficient, the use of the same solar energy can be higher yield.
rice, wheat and other crops using C3, photosynthesis efficiency is relatively low, but they are very important crops in the world. Susan von Kemerer, deputy director of the Photosynthesis Research Centre at the
Australian Research Council, said the new findings could help improve food production and tackle famine by helping people find ways to convert C3 plants into higher-yielding C4 plants.
