Polynomial regressions reveal that levels of chlorophyll a, carotenoids, soluble phenolics and aldehydes modify mathematically sugarcane shoot multiplication rate in temporary immersion bioreactors under salt stress

Polynomial regression analysis is a powerful statistical tool used to describe non-linear relationships. The goodness-of-fit of this model is assessed by evaluating the coefficient of determination (R2). An R2 value closer to 1 is indicative of a strong correlation between the two under consideration. While polynomial regression analysis has been widely used in studies of plant stress responses to stress, to the best of our knowledge, this...
