Here is a million bucks idea - how to speed up growth rate of tree?
Is there an equivalent of human growth hormone or any method to accelerate the growth rate of tree?
If we can speed up the rate of commerically logged trees of high value , e.g. rosewood, ebony. etc, there would be very beneficial environmentally(no more logging in the rainforest), not to mention the commerical value.
I was not able to find anything other than an article in Discover magazine about a Chinese shrug that has been selectively bred to increase grow rate by two fold. Other than that, I found nothing through the routes of genetic engineering or molecular mechanism.
Does anyone know any researcher or any company currently working on this problem/
THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF A TREE ARE THE RESULTS OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN ITS GENETIC POTENTIAL AND THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES OF THIS INTERACTION. IN NATURE, SWEETGUM MAY ATTAIN A HEIGHT OF 150 TO 175 FEET TALL, YET RARELY DOES THE SPECIES GROW THAT LARGE IN URBAN AREAS. WHILE SWEETGUM MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO GROW 150 FEET TALL, THE URBAN ENVIRONMENTS LIMITS THE EXPRESSION OF THAT POTENTIAL.
PLANT SYSTEMS, LIKE ALL LIVING ORGANISMS, RESPOND TO ENVIRONMENTAL STIMULI. DEVELOPMENTAL RESPONSES TO LIGHT, GRAVITY, AND TEMPERATURE CAN BE ESSENTIAL TO THE SURVIVAL OF A TREE. PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS ARE NATURALLY OCCURRING COMPOUNDS THAT ACT IN SMALL QUANTITIES TO REGULATE PLANT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.
