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.
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
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.
