Wastes from Forestry and Energy Industries as Potential Bioregulators in Soybean (Glycine Max L.) Plants (original) (raw)

This article is dedicated to the anniversary of 50 years since the founding of the Cellulose Chemistry and Technology journal. On this anniversary, we hope that both the editorial board members and collaborators will contribute further to increasing the quality and prestige of Cellulose Chemistry and Technology. Polyphenols are the only group of phytochemicals present in all plants. Their activity is based upon functional groups capable of accepting a free radical's negative charge. In our experiments, we have evaluated the effect of spruce bark polyphenolic extract (SBPE) and deuterium depleted water (DDW) as soybean plant bioregulators. After aqueous extraction and quantification, as well as identification of polyphenolic compounds by HPLC methods, we applied the extracts obtained, together with DDW,in the growth medium of soybean plants. The biological activity of SBPE and DDW was assessed by determining the germination energy and capacity, biomass accumulation, assimilatory ...
