- Intervention effect Ulva extract above 0.1% inhibited Arabidopsis germination.
- Intervention effect Ulva extract above 0.1% inhibited Arabidopsis root growth.
- Intervention effect Ulva extract below 0.1% stimulated root growth.
- Intervention effect All Ulva extract concentrations inhibited lateral root formation.
- Association The abi1 mutant had altered sensitivity to inhibition of germination and root growth.
- Association Ethylene- and cytokinin-insensitive mutants were partly insensitive to inhibition of germination.
- Observation Ulva contained high levels of aluminium ions.
- Mechanism Different mechanisms may mediate distinct effects of Ulva extract on Arabidopsis development.
- Mechanism Multiple hormones may contribute to germination inhibition by Ulva extract.
- Mechanism If aluminium in Ulva inhibits root growth, the mechanism may be novel.
