“Foliar sprays of eight plant-derived protein hydrolysates on tomato generally increased digital biomass, with two products (A and I) significantly improving relative growth rate and overall growth performance, though chlorophyll fluorescence showed no photosynthetic differences. Metabolomics indicated the biostimulants worked by reprogramming ethylene-precursor, polyamine, and ROS-signaling pathways, and the phenotyping-plus-metabolomics combination proved an efficient way to screen new biostimulant candidates.”
