Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Increasing GA increased shoot and internode length.
- Intervention effect GA did not influence leaf number.
- Intervention effect Increasing GA decreased leaf area.
- Intervention effect GA increased shoot dry weight up to 400 ppm.
- Intervention effect GA decreased leaf and root dry weights.
- Intervention effect Leaf disc manometry did not detect the inferred increase in synthetic efficiency.
- Intervention effect Increasing GA decreased leaf chlorophyll content.
- Mechanism The chlorophyll decrease was not due to dilution over a larger leaf area.
- Intervention effect GA slightly reduced leaf peroxidase activity.
- Intervention effect AMC–1618 increased leaf peroxidase activity.
- Intervention effect AMO–1618 did not clearly affect other seedling properties.
