Here we present evidence indicative of a more active role of plants in nutrient cycling than currently considered.
The higher level of E1 in tobacco is likely due to the use of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) promoter to drive expression in both maize and tobacco, as CaMV has been shown to be more active in dicotyledon plants.
Mutualistic P. ferrugineus ants were more active on the plant surface and more aggressive than workers of P. gracilis, which usually move to the opposite side of the leaf or twig when facing larger intruders (LC, personal observations).
Furthermore, hundreds of plant genes were more active than usual in the transgenic plants, which suggests that TrAP inhibits transcriptional gene silencing.
The microbial enzymes are also more active and stable than plant and animal enzymes.
It is assumed that those medicinal plants which are used frequently by most respondents for the same disease category are more likely to be biologically active plants [ 23].

It could be argued that a more active PTGS system in these plants would give a similar effect.
In fact, plant RNA silencing-mediated defence pathways are generally less active under low temperatures and more active at high temperatures concomitantly with plant virus activity [ 50, 51].
Set amid organic farmland in a town of former flower children, it features Japanese enzyme bath treatments in a large tub filled with a mixture of cedar fiber, rice bran and more than 600 active plant enzymes.
