Enhancers of net photosynthesis and methods of enhancing net photosynthesis

摘要

The present invention provides novel enhancers of photosynthesis and methods of using same. In one embodiment, the enhancer is derived from a microorganism. In alternative embodiments, the compounds are microbial extracts, a microbial secretion products, and microbially generated natural products. The invention also provides a method for increasing net photosynthesis in a plant by applying an agent comprising triacetylphloroglucinol, diacetylphloroglucinol or monoacetylphloroglucinol to the plant in an amount effective in increasing net photosynthesis in the plant.
