Biostimulants Effect on Pepper Plant Performance
Study objectives: Two biostimulants were tested, along with a normal nutrition control treatment, in order to determine the effect on sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum) plant growth, water use efficiency, drought tolerance and resilience. All plants, excluding control plants, were exposed to drought and recovery period, and their physiological response was measured. Study Results: One of the […]
Tomato Stomatal Closure Hormonal Regulation
Study objective: Show the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) DELLA protein PROCERA (PRO), a negative regulator of GA signaling, acts in guard cells to promote stomatal closure and reduce water loss in response to water deficiency by increasing abscisic acid (ABA) sensitivity. Study Results: The Tomato pro Mutant exhibits increased transpiration (measured by Plantarray). The results indicate that […]
