studies investigating the toxicity of saponins, few systematic investigations have been presented on the growth-stimulating activity of tea seed saponins on plants. In this study, we systematically tested the growth-regulatory effects of TSP applying a
biaxial tensile tests such as were first described by Bargel et al. (2004) . In this test, an excised segment of the fruit surface is pressurized from its inner side. As a result, the segment bulges and its surface area increases thereby mimicking the
