PROCEDES ET SYSTEMES DE CULTURE DE PLANTES UTILISANT DES SUBSTRATS A BASE DE SILICATE, CULTURE A PRODUCTIVITE PHOTOSYNTHETIQUE ET PHOTOPROTECTION AMELIOREES PAR UTILISATION DE GLYCOPYRANOSIDES EXOGENES POUR DES DERIVES DE PROTEINES DE TYPE GLYCOPYRANOSYLE ENDOGENES, ET PREPARATIONS, PROCEDES ET SYSTEMES ASSOCIES
Methods for promoting plant growth based on novelphotosafening treatment regimes with glycopyranosides includingglycopyranosylglycopyranosides, and aryl-.alpha.-D-glycopyranosides,and more specifically, with one or more compounds comprisingterminal mannosyl-triose, optionally in the presence of lightenhanced by one or more light reflecting and/or refracting memberssuch as silicon-based substrates. Furthermore, chemical synthesisprocesses for the above compounds are disclosed for generalapplication to plants.Silicate microbeads of the like aredistributed over the ground or substrate in which roots of a plantare supported and planted, beneath and around a plant in a mannerthat light is refracted or reflected toward the phylloplane.
