美国科学家说,将甲醇溶液喷洒在某些作物的叶子上,可减少这些作物的枯萎并使它们更快地结出较甜的果实。他们发现这种措施甚至对那些生长在荒芜的沙摸中的作物也有效。亚利桑那州光子股份有限公司的阿瑟·野野村和圣迭戈斯克利普斯海洋研究所的安德鲁·本森认为,只要使用这种简单的化学物质,农民们就能增加某些作物的产量并减少它们的灌溉用水。他们还认为,通过研究植物使用甲醇的方式,科学家们可对光合作用和呼吸 U.S. scientists say spraying methanol solution on the leaves of certain crops can reduce the withering of these crops and make them yield more sweet fruits faster. They found that such measures are effective even for crops that grow in desolated sand. Arthur Nomino of Arizona Photonics Co., Ltd. and Andrew Benson of the Institute of Marine Science at the Scripps Institution of San Diego in San Diego believe that with this simple chemistry, farmers can increase yields of certain crops and reduce them Irrigation water. They also believe that by studying the way plants use methanol, scientists can study photosynthesis and respiration
