Effects of Biostimulants in Horticulture, with Emphasis on Ornamental Plant Production
The biostimulant segment is becoming increasingly important worldwide. One of the reasons for this is that fewer plant protection products are placed on the market in the European Union, and environmental sustainability also plays an important role in ...

Biostimulants in plant brassinosteroid hormone receptor BRI1 activation-a new system to evaluate activation capacity. [PDF]
Biostimulants improve plant growth and have shown promise in agronomic applications and boosting crop yield. Because biostimulants typically present as a mixture of active components, new methods are required to characterize their mode of action. Here, we describe a novel assay that evaluates plant biostimulants targeting the brassinosteroid receptor ...
