Other claims from this paper (11)

Intervention effect Leafamine stimulated tomato root growth by 15 to 20% under both optimal and heat-stress conditions.
Mechanism Leafamine increases root growth by increasing cell division and expansion.
Intervention effect Transcriptomics showed induction of genes associated with cell division and expansion (CYCD3;3, EXPA15).
Intervention effect Transcriptomics showed repression of heat-stress markers (HSP70, HSFA7).
Intervention effect Hormonal and metabolic profiling revealed increased jasmonic and salicylic acid.
Intervention effect Hormonal and metabolic profiling revealed increased putrescine, citrulline and GABA.
Intervention effect Seedlings pretreated with Leafamine showed growth less inhibited by heat, indicating a priming effect.
Intervention effect In greenhouse trials Leafamine increased tomato yield by 22% under optimal conditions.
Intervention effect In greenhouse trials Leafamine increased tomato yield by 26% under heat stress.
Intervention effect The yield gain resulted from increased fruit weight and number when applied at an early flowering stage.
Intervention effect Similar responses were observed across several tomato genotypes, differing in response kinetics.

Rootstock-specific responses of ‘Rojo Brillante’ persimmon grafted onto Diospyros lotus and Diospyros virginiana to irrigation dose and planting layout, with implications for water status, fruit abscission and irrigation water productivity

Armand Román; Pau Martí; Pablo González-Altozano; et al. Irrigation Science 2026. doi:10.1007/s00271-026-01115-3

Other claims from this paper (10)

Observation Midday stem water potential in the 100% and 115% irrigation treatments generally stayed above the stress threshold.
Intervention effect Dense planting under 100% of the baseline irrigation dose caused transient severe summer water stress in trees, coinciding with reduced productivity in D. lotus.
Intervention effect Yield was largely unaffected by increasing the irrigation dose.
Intervention effect D. virginiana rootstock induced greater vigour than D. lotus.
Intervention effect D. virginiana gave no consistent yield advantage over D. lotus.
Intervention effect At the hectare scale the denser planting layout tended to improve productivity.
Intervention effect Sustained deficit irrigation reduced fruit abscission relative to flowering by about 14% against a D. lotus control at 100% BID.
Intervention effect Sustained deficit irrigation maintained yield relative to the control.
Intervention effect Sustained deficit irrigation maximised irrigation water productivity.
Recommendation The authors recommend rootstock-specific irrigation scheduling and deficit-based strategies to improve water productivity without compromising yield.
