Pepton

Pepton treated tomato, cv. 'Ailsa Craig', grown under nutrient-stressed conditions, showed significantly increased root biomass, increased salicylic acid, no significant difference in melatonin, increased indole-3-acetic acid and no difference in relative expression of the genes encoding for isochorismate synthase (ICS), tryptophan amino transferase (TAA1) and PIN proteins (PIN1 and PIN2), averaged across measurements from days 1,2 and 4 after treatment, compared to untreated control plants.
Pepton® treated tomato, cv. 'Ailsa Craig', grown under cold-stressed conditions, showed significantly increased root biomass, increased root area (after 4 days), no significant difference in salicylic acid, no difference in melatonin, no difference in  indole-3-acetic acid and no difference in relative expression of the genes encoding for ICS, TAA1, PIN1 and PIN2, averaged across measurements from days 1,2 and 4 after treatment, compared to untreated control plants.
