This study investigated the effects of a plant hormone on cucumber seedlings when exposed to suboptimal root zone temperatures.


They found that plant resistance can be effectively enhanced, and the absorption, transformation and utilization of nutrients by plants can be improved, thereby improving plant growth quality and increasing crop yield.
