e0“Possible effects on stomatal aperture was investigated by measuring rates of whole plant transpiration as a function of seismo-stress, and a transitory decrease followed by a gradual, partial recovery was detected.”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Shaking reduced internode dimensions and leaf area in soybean and eggplant.
- Intervention effect Shaking reduced fresh and dry root and shoot weight in soybean and eggplant.
- Intervention effect Periodic seismic treatment inhibited photosynthetic productivity.
- Intervention effect Shaken or rubbed soybean had lower relative and absolute growth rate than undisturbed controls.
- Mechanism The fall in relative growth rate was attributed almost entirely to reduced net assimilation rate.
- Association Leaf area ratio did not account for the relative growth rate decline.
