PY - 2020 DA - 2020/12/09 TI - Humic acids trigger the weak acids stress response in maize seedlings JO - Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture SP - 31 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Plants primed by humic acids showed physiological and molecular response against different abiotic stresses without the presence of stressor agents (salinity, drought, heavy metal toxicity). It is plausible that humic acids themselves can act as chemical priming substances in plants. We hypothesized that humic acids can trigger the weak acids stress response in cell plants acidifying the cytosol and thus eliciting the transduction signalling response cascade.
