Effect
Increased drought stress tolerance
4-Vita treated tomatoes showed and increased resiliance to drought stress, showing a partial recovery pf plant growth (+7.7%), a slight increase in photosynthetic paramaters, no change in morphologica parameters and sped up metabolic pathways compared to the controls.
