BHU scientist did research on plant growing. BHU scientist did research on plant growing: Said – LIM1 gene is essential in the growth of cells, will provide relief from cold storage – Varanasi News
A research has been done by a professor of Kashi Hindu University. In which he has said that now crops and plants will not become sluggish even in cold weather. They will develop even in low temperatures. He explained that in this study, genetic and cell biological approaches were used.

Researchers have identified a previously uncharacterized transcription factor, low temperature-induced MADS-box 1. LIM1 facilitates cell-cell communication essential for growth by promoting the expression of gibberellic acid hormone “essential for cell growth in plants” biosynthetic gene and FT1 “flowering locus T, the protein responsible for flowering”.
In this graphic, researchers have shown how plants grow because of LIM1.
Crop dormancy will be curbed
Botany professor JP Maurya said crop dormancy “inability to grow” remains a major challenge for countries across the world, affecting plant growth and productivity. Deficiency or absence of certain hormones and proteins necessary for weathering and growth are the major causes of dormancy in plants. Researchers around the world are working to find ways to solve the problems associated with plant dormancy. He said that with the help of this method we can also solve the cold storage system.
In this graphics, flowers (FT1) and cell growth (LIM1) are described.
They reported that a regulatory module mediating temperature control of cell-cell communication facilitates bud dormancy release. They reported that the study shows that temperature control of cell-cell communication is linked to genetic factors important for long-lived plant adaptations with the regulation of seasonally aligned growth.
The professor showed in the lab how plants are changing their appearance due to temperature.
Research done this way
After sensing the signal of the arrival of winter, i.e. a decrease in day length and temperature, plants stop forming groups of new leaf primordia cells that form into new leaves and the shoot apical meristem. The activity of SAM is responsible for growth and development at the tip of plant shoots. The growth-inhibited leaf primordia and SAM become enclosed within the apical bud and the plant goes dormant. Dormancy ends after prolonged exposure to low temperatures and growth resumes in the spring when temperatures rise.
