The Dhaka Times Desk Now scientists have found the world's largest plant! It is a 'sea grass' or sea grass that is three times bigger than Manhattan in New York!
This plant is found on the coast of Australia. Through genetic testing of the plant, scientists have confirmed that this large underwater grass off the west coast of Australia is indeed the same plant. It is believed that this plant grew from a single seed for four and a half thousand years.
Researchers from the University of Western Australia said that this sea grass is spread over an area of 200 square kilometers. Researchers said, the size of this plant is equal to 20,000 football fields!
Scientists found this plant by chance in Shark Bay, 800 kilometers north of Perth, Australia.
Then they also try to understand the genetic characteristics of these plants. This sea grass is known as 'ribbon weed'. This plant is found on the coast of Australia.
For the purpose of research, scientists collected the shoots of this plant from the coast and they examined about 18 thousand genes. Through this they try to understand how many plants there are.
"We were surprised when we did the research - there was only one tree," said Jane Ejlow, who led the study. "This single tree spans 180 kilometers of Shark Bay, making it the largest plant in the world so far."
A researcher Dr. The tenacity of this sea grass is also remarkable, says Elizabeth Sinclair. This sea grass can grow in a variety of environmental conditions. “It seems sustainable. It survives in varying degrees of heat, salinity and intense light”.
According to scientists, this plant grows up to 35 cm per year. From this calculation, the researchers found that it took 4,500 years for this shrub to come to its present state!
Things to do to prevent Corona virus
# try to stay at home all the time.
# Follow the rules and use mask when going out for emergency.
# three-layer cloth mask can be washed if desired.
