As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth in two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 14 percent. Scientists conducted the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic changes will produce the same results in corn and rice. （1）What will happen to the plants when scientists change plants39。s protective system to lightadjusting glasses. When a person wears the glasses outside during the day, the lenses（鏡片）darken and lighten depending on how sunny it is. Plants do the same thing, he said. But in plants the adjustment can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. This makes it hard for plants to get the right amount of sunlight needed to create food. s protective system. Normally, this system is activated when a plant gets too much sunlight, said scientist Krishna Niyogi, coauthor of the study. When the plant senses the light, it gets rid of extra energy and creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off, but the process is slow. s genes, the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14 and 20 percent. s genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results could increase the amount of food produced around the world.

A Jones Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Duke, the physical changes of our nerves and neurons play, a major role in our perception (知覺) of time as we get old. Over the years these structures bee more plex and eventually be
