Kidney Beans, Mitogens, and Growing Plants Faster?Alright well (preferably) red kidney beans contain a Mitogen called Phytohaemagglutinin.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytohaemagglutinin Mitogens cause cells to go into mitosis. is this the proteins function in beans, for germinating? Also would grinding the red Kidney beans to a powder, soaking in water, filtering, and then soaking the leafs of plants in the water cause the plant cells to go into mitosis? And this would cause the plant to grow faster correct? What effect would a colchicine/Phytohaemagglutinin solution have on plants? From what i have been able to gather, it would make Colchicine more effective and get more of the plant cells to become polyploidy, at least faster? ---just another thought, the water solution would likely also contain some gibberlins, auxins and other plant growth regulators to perhaps cause them to grow faster? Thanks in advance. :]
