"Formula discovered for longer plant life" 1. **__Bibliographical Information__** max-Plank-Gisselschaft.www.biologynews.com.September 23, 2008  2. **__Summary of Content:__** The article was about a new method that scientists have been studyin for many years, a method of making plants live longer. What was discussed, were the methods. A method is adding some hormones to the plant to make it last longer. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Develoopmental Biology in Tubingen, have shown that small particles of genes, called microRNAS,determine the growth and how long it's going to last they inhibit regulators called TCP transcription. How it works is: "he higher the number of microRNAs present, the lower the number of transcription factors that are active, and the smaller the amount of jasmonic acid, which is produced by the plant," So, the plant takes longer to age. The scientists, still have to do more research on this topic, therefore, untill they have enough evidence they wil produce plants that have particularly desires properties. 3. **__Analysis and Evaluation__** This is a very nice and wise discovery, and specially to those who love plants. I think it can actually be really good, and work for plants that are for inside homes, and, i strongly believe that only for those kind of plants this dicovery can be useful. The idea of adding hormones to the plants so that they last longer, is in some way wrong. Nature, should stay as what it is, natural. We, should let nature just be natural, and leave them do their cicle of life as how it is suposse to be. If humans complain about plants dying so fast, maybe they should stop to ponder why it happens, it can also be our fault, the destruction of human hand. Humans have been destroyin our home; the world, for a long time already, so we do not need more destruction, just leave naure be!
