Shoot to root ratio, based on fresh weight, represents the mean of three independent experiments on 3 to 4 (4–12 for t0) measurements per experiment on three plants in each (± sd). Data derived from Table I. Values marked with an asterisk are significantly different from the control value (+S; P < 0.01).
