The differential modulation of secondary metabolism induced by a protein hydrolysate and a seaweed extract in tomato plants under salinity.

ABSTRACT: Climate change and abiotic stress challenges in crops are threatening world food production. Among others, salinity affects the agricultural sector by significantly impacting yield losses. Plant biostimulants have received increasing attention in the agricultural industry due to their ability to improve health and resilience in crops. The main driving force of these products lies in their ability to modulate plant metabolic processes involved in the stress response. This study's purpose was to investigate the effect of two biostimulant products, including a protein hydrolysate (Clever HX^®) and a seaweed extract with high amino acids content (Ascovip^®), and their combination, on the metabolomics profile of tomato crops grown under salt stress (150 mM NaCl).
