Evaluation of the effects of chitosan application and growing media on the adaptation process of fercal grape rootstock.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn plant micropropagation, the adaptation phase represents one of the most critical limiting steps due to the high mortality rates commonly observed under ex-vitro conditions. The Fercal grapevine rootstock, characterized by its high adaptability to calcareous soils, holds significant potential for large-scale propagation. Therefore, evaluating strategies to improve survival during the transition from in vitro to ex-vitro environments is essential. This study investigates the influence of different growing media and foliar-applied chitosan doses on the adaptation success of Fercal rootstock plantlets.
resultsAfter transferring the plantlets to media containing either cocopeat or black sand, foliar chitosan treatments were applied at concentrations of 0, 15, and 30 mg L
conclusionChitosan is a promising bio-stimulant for enhancing the ex-vitro performance of grapevine rootstocks, with its effectiveness strongly influenced by the physicochemical characteristics of the growing substrate. The combined use of inert substrates with high chitosan doses or organic substrates with moderate doses resulted in optimal outcomes. These findings provide a basis for refining micropropagation protocols, especially under environmentally challenging conditions.
