Natural Abscisic Acid Activates Crop Stress Resistance Genes

Recently, a message known as "Plant Viagra" - "S-Inducing Receptor," (also known as "Natural Abscisic Acid"), which was put into industrial production in Deyang, Sichuan Province, was immediately released to the public. " "S-enhancer" is a kind of magical thing, so loved by the industry? What does it mean for agricultural production? What are the outstanding effects and advantages compared with auxin, ethylene, gibberellin, and cytokinin plant growth regulators? The author recently interviewed Xiao Liang and Tan Hong, researchers from the Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, who are responsible for the project. Tan Hong, a researcher, said that S-mouse (abscisic acid) and auxin, ethylene, gibberellin, and cytokinin are listed as five natural growth regulators of plants. Numerous studies at home and abroad have demonstrated that abscisic acid is the most important stress hormone in plants, as compared with other plant growth regulators, in addition to other physiological functions. Therefore, people called abscisic acid as a stress hormone. Because in drought, cold, salt, and other adverse circumstances, the body's abscisic acid content will rise sharply. After the adversity, the abscisic acid content dropped dramatically. There is a significant positive correlation between the accumulation of abscisic acid in plants and the enhancement of stress resistance, and exogenous abscisic acid treatment can also enhance the plant's resistance to multiple stresses. Since S-sensitin (abscisic acid) is a natural plant growth regulator, S-antagonist and its practical preparations, it can be widely used in rice, vegetables, flowers, lawns, cotton, Chinese herbs, fruit trees, etc. Crops, improve crop growth, seed setting rate and quality in low-temperature, drought, cold spring, salt, pests, and other undesirable growth environments, increase the yield per unit of low-yield fields, and reduce the use of chemical pesticides. It can also be applied to urban greening such as lawns and gardens, applied to water-saving agriculture and facility agriculture in the western region, and the restoration and reconstruction of ecological vegetation is of great significance for the development of agricultural industrialization in China. At present, after field trials have been conducted using the series of pesticide preparations prepared with the original S-inducing reductase drug, the data show that Xinjiang cotton has suffered from cold disasters after being suddenly exposed to cold weather for 3 days and is still able to resist cold disasters and still increase production by more than 20%; Hebei, Shandong During the process of transplanting vegetables in greenhouses, they returned green and fast, they had strong seedlings, few diseases, early maturity, and high yields. They increased their grain yield by more than one thousand yuan. They were used for tree planting in Guyuan, Ningxia, and the survival rate was increased by 30% due to their strong drought resistance; they were carried out in Japan and South Korea. Fruit, flower test, large fruit, strong coloring, good quality, early flowering, uniform growth. S-Murine is one of the five most recognized endogenous plant growth regulators in the world and has unique efficacy. Over the years, scientists from various countries have conducted a lot of research and exploration on their development and utilization. However, because the cost is too high, the products can only be used for scientific research and cannot be used for industrial production. The Chengdu Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences began its research on the project in 1993. After a series of ideas, technological improvements, and experimental comparisons, a breakthrough was finally achieved. In 1999, the S-sensitine production line in China was developed and produced. In August 2000, Chengdu Institute of Biology cooperated with Sichuan Longxi Group to carry out the engineering transformation and industrialization of this achievement. Abscisic acid production methods can be divided into three kinds: First, from the plant extracts, about 300 kilograms of cotton seeds can extract 9 milligrams, so the cost is quite high, the United States is to produce a small amount of abscisic acid in this way. The second is artificial synthesis. The modern artificial synthetic abscisic acid is a mesosome and its physiological activity is only half that of natural abscisic acid. The price is about 80-100 US dollars per gram. Due to the price restriction, it has not been able to be used on a large scale. . The third is that we currently produce natural abscisic acid by bio-fermentation method. The current scale is 200-300 kilograms per year. With the continuous expansion of the abscisic acid application scale, the output can be expanded at any time according to the market demand, and, with the continuous production With the expansion, the production cost can be reduced exponentially. The current price of the original drug is approximately RMB 150-200 per gram, and the application cost of preparations is 3-5 RMB per mu, which is fully acceptable to the market. It is reported that the project has now been listed by the State Intellectual Property Office as one of the first batch of 10 "National Patent Strategy Implementation Promotion Projects" to be promoted. This scientific and technological achievement has attracted the interest of experts from the United States, Japan, and South Korea. Its development and utilization will reduce the use of chemical pesticides, reduce the pollution of crops, help plants improve their ability to resist natural disasters, and achieve the benefits of increasing crop yields and income, and have broad development prospects and market space.
