Abstract:

Plants can acclimate to various environmental stresses by inducing a common physiological response called “stress-induced morphogenic response” (SIMR). This SIMR was observed when plants were exposed to soil pollutions such as metallic trace elements, pesticides or salts, or when soils present an excess of water or a deficiency in several minerals. Moreover, UV-B, ozone or mechanical stress can generate a similar response on plants. SIMR is characterized by a reduction of principal roots and a proliferation of … La suite
