Effects of treatment by synthetic strigolactone (SL) on WUE and NUE in two tomato varieties under normal and combined-stress conditions

The present work aims to analyse the influence of strigolactones (SL) on WUE and NUE under combined stress (drought and phosphate deprivation) in two tomato TOMRES varieties. One variety was chosen because it was found to be less sensitive to nitrogen starvation (# 250) by UNA, while the other (# 270) is more or less as sensitive as the wild type used in previous experiments (M82).
