e0“in I. walleriana seedlings, the abiotic stress imposed by the growing medium quality during nursery had a higher effect on biomass accumulation (on both fresh and dry base), leaf area expansion and photo assimilates partitioning than plug cell volume”

Other claims from this paper (3)
- Association The effects of growing medium and plug cell volume constitute an interactive process associated with cytokinin synthesis.
- Recommendation To avoid root restriction in nursery, one (expensive) option is to use high quality growing media and increase the plug cell volume.
- Intervention effect A single 100 mg L-1 BAP spray can partially override root restriction symptoms related to abiotic stresses.
