Key Findings
- The study by Hunan Agricultural University examined how different seeding methods affect cold tolerance in tobacco seedlings
- Seedlings grown using the shallow water seeding method had longer, more branched roots compared to those grown using the float system
- After exposure to cold stress, seedlings from the shallow water seeding method showed higher antioxidant enzyme activity and lower cell membrane damage
