Description:

Data are from an experiment where isobutylalcohol was dissolved in a nutrient solution in which lettuce (Lactuca sativa) plants were grown. The plant biomass of the shoot was determined af 21 days.

Variables:

A data frame with 14 observations on the following 3 variables.

conc

a numeric vector of concentrations of isobutylalcohol (mg/l)

weight

a numeric vector of biomass of shoot (g)

Details

The data set illustrates hormesis, presence of a subtoxic stimulus at low concentrations.
