PROCÉDÉS ET SYSTÈMES DE CULTURE DE PLANTES UTILISANT DES SUBSTRATS À BASE DE SILICATE, CULTURE À PRODUCTIVITÉ PHOTOSYNTHÉTIQUE ET PHOTOPROTECTION AMÉLIORÉES PAR UTILISATION DE GLYCOPYRANOSIDES EXOGÈNES POUR DES DÉRIVÉS DE PROTÉINES DE TYPE GLYCOPYRANOSYLE ENDOGÈNES, ET PRÉPARATIONS, PROCÉDÉS ET SYSTÈMES ASSOCIÉS
Methods for promoting plant growth based on novel photosafening treatment regimes with glycopyranosides including glycopyranosylglycopyranosides, and aryl-a-D-glycopyranosides, and more specifically, with one or more compounds comprising terminal mannosyl-triose, optionally in the presence of light enhanced by one or more light reflecting and/or refracting members such as silicon-based substrates. Furthermore, chemical synthesis processes for the above compounds are disclosed for general application to plants. Silicate microbeads of the like are distributed over the ground or substrate in which roots of a plant are supported and planted, beneath and around a plant in a manner that light is refracted or reflected toward the phylloplane.
