Growth-Promoting and Anti-Aging Chemical Compounds at the Root of Plant Growth, Animal Embryos
For humans and all vertebrate species, a fertilized ovum must be transformed into an embryo that has a beating heart. This requires stem cells to differentiate, specialize, and produce specific tissues such as blood vessels, bones, and a nervous systems. The retinal is responsible for regulating and initiating this process. Animals cannot produce retinal themselves, but they can ingest it by eating plants or animals that eat them.
The same chemical is required for the successful development of both plant roots and animal embryos.
What are the similarities between frog’s eggs and anti-aging creams. Their success is based on a chemical compound called retinoids. These compounds are capable of generating or regenerating tissue.
New research in plants has shown that the ability of retinoids to generate tissue is also responsible for the proper development of roots.
