Abstract:Trehalose is a disaccharide
and is often foliar applied
by farmers
aiming at increasing stress resistance or crop production. However,
the physiological effect of exogenously applied trehalose on crops
remains obscure. Here, we explored the effect of foliar trehalose
application on style length of solanaceous crops, Solanum
melongena and S. lycopersicum. Trehalose
application promotes pistil to stamen ratio by gaining style length.
Another disaccharide consisting of two glucose molecules, maltose,
showed the s… Show more
