- Intervention effect CS-MPs prevented nitrogen-deficiency-related loss of tomato aerial biomass.
- Intervention effect CS-MPs prevented lateral-root elongation triggered by nitrogen deficiency in tomato plantlets.
- Intervention effect CS-MPs partly or fully restored nitrate levels under nitrogen deficiency.
- Intervention effect CS-MPs partly or fully restored chlorophyll levels under nitrogen deficiency.
- Intervention effect CS-MPs increased nitric oxide levels in tomato root tips.
- Intervention effect CS-MPs upregulated tomato genes involved in nitrogen metabolism.
- Mechanism The authors suggest CS-MPs enhance tomato growth under nitrogen deficiency via biochemical and transcriptional responses.
- Recommendation The authors propose CS-MPs as a practice to mitigate nutrient deficiency in nitrogen-poor soils.
