The application of a biostimulant based on tannins affects root architecture and improves tolerance to salinity in tomato plants

Abstract Roots have important roles for plants to withstand adverse environmental conditions, including salt stress. Biostimulant application was shown to enhance plant resilience towards abiotic stresses. Here, we studied the effect of a tannin-based biostimulant on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)...
