Research and analysis on the difference of functions of different protein hydrolysates (polypeptides)
3pm BST / 4pm CEST / 10am EST
As the first messenger, the polypeptide binds to the receptor on the cell membrane and participates in the signal transduction process, thereby regulating plant growth, development, reproduction, and response to the external environment. However, different sources and molecular weights, as well as different types of peptides, are quite different. [1-3]
In this study, by screening peptide products from different sources, and using different hydrolysis methods, different molecular weights of the same peptide, and gene research was performed through transcriptome sequencing, and the different performance and mechanism of different peptides on crops were analyzed. .
The products developed on this basis have verified the accuracy and reliability of the research through field experiments and statistical analysis of data, and have pointed out the direction for the in-depth research of peptides and product development.

The Research and Application of ZNC, A New Biostimulant Based on Plant Endophytes Metabolites
4pm BST / 5pm CEST / 11am EST
ZNC is a new generation of green ecological and healthy microbial source bio-stimulant product. ZNC has ultra high activity and excellent qualities, favored by the farmers. ZNC has perfect function on growth promotion on 1-5ppb concentration. The main functions of ZNC are: 1. promoting plant growth; 2. resisting diseases; 3. resisting stress; 4. promoting plant reproduction and development; 5. improving fertilizers effect and activating mineral elements in the soil. Thanks for the cooperations with more than 10 scientific research teams, the research, development and application of ZNC has made certain progress in the following aspects: 1. We have completed main components analysis, developed detection methods, and completed physical and chemical properties analysis of ZNC; 2. We have accomplished research on the efficacy of ZNC when mixed with various fertilizers and applied to different crops in various regions; 3. We have accomplished research on the mechanism of how ZNC improves fertilizers function; 4. We have developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for trace and accurate detection of ZNC in fertilizers and pesticides, which is simple and easy to apply.
