Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect OBKL increased maize root elongation by 50%.
- Intervention effect OBKL enhanced maize photosynthesis by 65%.
- Intervention effect OBKL raised maize transpiration by 106%.
- Intervention effect Low-molecular-weight OBKL promoted chlorophyll synthesis and stress resilience compared with high-molecular-weight lignin.
- Intervention effect High-molecular-weight lignin suppressed maize growth compared with low-molecular-weight OBKL.
- Observation Plant hormone signal transduction was identified as a major pathway regulated by lignin in maize.
- Recommendation OBKL is an effective biostimulant for improving maize crop productivity and environmental adaptability.
