Farmers are excited to learn that scientists have discovered that if the Proton Pyrophosphatase pump is in an area where the concentration gradient is too high (with too many hydrogen ions on one side), the pump works in the opposite direction. This allows more sugars to be passed into neighboring cells. Sugars are needed for energy and plant growth, so in effect, this helps move sugars around the plant without using more materials. The plant roots grow longer and are able to absorb more nutrients. Explain why this finding is important.
