Proteins found in plants one of the most basic blocks of life In addition, it has many other uses. An ordinary plant cell uses 20 billion protein molecules. Thus, the cell becomes more stable and metabolic activities of the cell can be carried out.

Researchers from the University of Heidelberg, vegetable proteins will prolong his life done a study. Scientists who discovered an important protein called N-terminal acetylation in this study also stated that this protein is used as a control mechanism in plant growth.

An important role in combating drought

Scientists state that the protein known as HYPK (Huntingtin Yeast Interactor Protein K) is important, and that this structure also increases the production of N-terminal acetylatone. While HYPK has many benefits, the most notable benefit was that it allowed plants to adapt to different conditions.

In studies of genetically modified plants, the Heidelberg team HYPK protein It turned out that N-terminal acetylatone was also not formed when there was a deficiency. At the same time, the drought resistance of plants increased. The researchers said their next goal is to uncover the source of this drought resistance.

As is known in recent years drought risk is often mentioned. For this reason, although awareness-raising activities are being conducted for water conservation, these studies alone may not be sufficient. Therefore, these studies on plants are of crucial importance.
