Scientists have been trying to figure out how plants start the process of turning sunlight into sugar for years, but now they've finally decoded the signals that plants send to themselves. Botanists have known for a long time that the nucleus in a plant cell is like the boss, sending out commands to other parts of the cell. By using proteins, it's been like trying to find a needle in a haystack; until now. Professor Ming chin and his team at botany department at school found four of these proteins and documented the entire process in simple words.

What is the most difficult language in the world?

human lives wait how what is the

connection here

plants create energy out of sunlight

water and carbon dioxide duh we've known

it for ages turns out that understanding

this process in detail could help find a

cure for cancer

so for a long time scientists have been

trying to figure out how plants start

the process of turning sunlight into

sugar through photosynthesis but now

some researchers have finally decoded

those tricky signals that plants send to

themselves

for many years botanists have known that

the nucleus in a plant cell is like the

boss sending out commands to other parts

of the cell it does so by creating

proteins that tell the other parts what

to do and if those proteins aren't there

the plant won't be able to grow or turn

green but there are hundreds of

different proteins in the nucleus

and figuring out which ones tell the

plant to start photosynthesis has been a

huge challenge it's been like trying to

find a needle in a haystack

but now the botany Professor Ming chin

and his team managed to find four of

those proteins and documented the entire

process in simple words Chen and his

team found four new proteins that help

plants start the process of

photosynthesis which turns sunlight into

energy for growth

these proteins are part of a complex

process that happens in two different

rooms in the cell and they help the

different parts of the plant talk to

each other so they can work together to

make energy

Chen Compares this process to a symphony

where the proteins in the nucleus act as

the conductors Who start the music these

conductors are called photoreceptors

which implies that they respond to light

and activate genes that kick off

photosynthesis

however they need to communicate with

other parts of the cell which are far

away like musicians playing in different

rooms

this is where the four newly discovered

proteins come in they help the

conductors send messages to the other

parts of the cell

This research was funded by the National

Institutes of Health which hopes that it

could help find a cure for cancer

is because the chloroplasts which are

plant cell parts responsible for

photosynthesis and mitochondria that

generate chemical energy in human cells

have some similarities both are

important for generating energy for

growth and they also contain genetic

material

scientists have been studying internal

communication processes inside the cell

they found out that when something goes

wrong with the little organs inside a

cell called organelles they will send a

message to the nucleus which acts as the

headquarters of the cell

foreign

however we don't know much about how the

nucleus sends messages back to the

organelles Chen thinks that the way the

nucleus communicates with the organelles

in plants is similar to how it works in

Animals by studying how the nucleus

communicates with the chloroplasts we

can learn how it also controls the

mitochondrial genes dysfunction of these

genes may lead to dangerous diseases

like cancer so we could learn to control

these processes and thus maybe find ways

to reverse cancer processes

it's important to understand how

photosynthesis is controlled because it

may be used Beyond just studying

diseases for example if we ever live on

another planet we will need to grow food

indoors and create a way to make sure

the plants get enough light to grow

also climate change is making it harder

for Farmers to grow crops by

understanding how plants grow we can

find ways to help them survive and keep

us fed

the reason we can survive on this planet

is because plants can do photosynthesis

without them there are no animals

including humans said Chen so if we

understand how to manipulate plant

growth we can also control the quantity

of food we produce which could

definitely solve lots of our problems in

the future

that's it for today so hey if you
