Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Citric acid stimulation released about 50% more resin.
- Intervention effect Ethrel yielded resin amounts similar to the traditional paste.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid yielded resin amounts similar to the traditional paste.
- Intervention effect All stimulants reduced seedling growth.
- Intervention effect Midday water potential did not differ significantly across stimulants.
- Association Internal resin accumulation correlated strongly with total resin production.
- Association Resin canal density correlated strongly with total resin production.
- Intervention effect More acidic pastes tended to cause xylem damage.
- Intervention effect More acidic pastes tended to cause resin retention.
- Mechanism The authors infer moderate acidity suffices to trigger resin biosynthesis and release.
- Recommendation The authors propose citric acid as a safer alternative to conventional stimulants.
