Transplant ability to overcome physiological stress and become established in a new environment depends on the ability of seedlings to withstand root disturbance, the water and nutrient uptake capacity of the roots, and the plant capacity to regenerate new roots. This response is the result of changes in gene expression that are related to the mechanisms activated by the plant to withstand stress. Focusing on the critical stage after transplanting, Bioiberica, S.A developed Inicium, a totally natural product based on characterized peptides of low molecular weight that induce a high root activity response and favor rooting.
