Physiological assessment lumichrome treatment on lotus and tomato plants. Biomass accumulation of (A) shoot and (B) root organs of 5-week-old lotus (black bar) and tomato (gray bar), as well as (C) net CO₂ assimilation rate and (D) root respiration as radiolabeled carbon dioxide evolution were also measured in plants grown in a 16-h photoperiod. The values are the mean ± SE (n = 5). The data was analyzed using one way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s least significant difference, bars that do not share letters are significantly different (P < 0.05) from each other. The results were confirmed in at least four independent experimental trials.
