e1“The results obtained demonstrate that both C. reinhardtii and C. sorokiniana cells promoted the development of maize root system compared to the untreated negative control”
e4“When these microalgae-derived biostimulants were applied on plants grown in stress conditions as nitrogen deficiency, improved development of the root system was measured in the case of plants treated with C. sorokiniana biomass”

- Intervention effect Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells promoted the development of the maize root system compared with an untreated control.
- Intervention effect Chlorella sorokiniana cells promoted the development of the maize root system compared with an untreated control.
- Intervention effect Chlorella sorokiniana specifically increased the number of secondary roots of maize.
- Intervention effect Chlamydomonas reinhardtii treatment improved micro-nutrient accumulation on maize roots and shoots.
- Recommendation Microalgae cultivation for biostimulant production can be considered a bio-based process for improving maize resilience to stress.
