e0“To inhibit the uptake and accumulation of fluoranthene (Flu) in tomatoes cultivated in Flu-contaminated soil”
e1“Meanwhile, Tn3 treatment significantly alleviated the inhibition of Flu stress on tomato growth: plant height and biomass increased by 36.4 and 61.3% compared with T treatment, recovering to 85.7 and 79.8% of those in the uncontaminated treatment (CK)”
