PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Photosynthesis is the main determinant of crop yield, the efficiency with which a crop captures light and converts it into biomass and production is decisive.
Non-optimal conditions, such as excess or lack of light, can cause a reduction in the energy available to support metabolic processes and cause a reduction in yield.
THE SOLUTION
MC CREAM™ works by promoting an increase in photosynthetic efficiency and greater cell division and expansion, essential mechanisms to support and encourage greater fruit growth and increase yield.
At a metabolic level, MC CREAM™ helps the plant by acting on the processes related to the production of vitamins and amino acids, which help protect against oxidative stress caused by light radiation and favoring the production of new energy through greater photosynthetic activity.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND
MC CREAM™ increases the activation of genes involved in photosynthesis and growth induction (as per TAIR description – www.arabidopsis.org).
The tables show the Relative Expression Level (R.E.L.) of the involved genes versus the untreated plants (Arabidopsis thaliana; Microarray technology, Transcriptomic fingerprint).
The gene marker for response to high light intensity is 20 times more expressed than the control, at the same time the gene marker for cell expansion and proliferation and the response to auxin stimulus is 7 times overexpressed.
MC CREAM™ acts on physiological processes linked to light utilization and the ones involved in the growth of plant organs.

MC CREAM™
Directions for use
MC CREAM™ + BENEFIT PZ™
a stimulating SYNERGY
The capability of MC CREAM™ to stimulate cell expansion is a versatile aspect that completely fit with the function of the use of BENEFIT PZ™, the plant biostimulant created by Syngenta Biologicals for fruit enlargement. One of the characteristics of BENEFIT PZ™ is the capability to increase the cell division stimulating the cytokinesis, thus inducing an increase in the number of cells produced in a given unit of time. Consequently, in the treated fruits we find a higher number of cells, which after the successive cell distension process produces larger fruits. This represents an effective solution for fruit enlargement in a totally natural way.
