Cutting Onions - The Elongation of Plant Cells

The direction along which you cut an onion can make a big difference in how much of the compounds the induce tears are released. O cas root regeneration is related to this gene that stimulates the production of this hormone that causes cells to elongate. If you turn the onion around and you cut it in the pole to pole direction, you're cutting parallel to the elongated cells instead of across them,. fewer cells are ruptured, less juice is released, and there's less crying. I don't really have a problem of crying wile ting onions, but i i definitely need a watch of ideo on cutting onions because i know i'm doing it very incorrectly.
