Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Severe drought stress reduced LCS, FAA and total protein (TP) content in young Jatropha curcas plants compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Severe drought stress increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity by 70% compared with the control in Jatropha curcas.
- Intervention effect Severe drought stress increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content by 60% compared with the control in Jatropha curcas.
- Observation Severe drought stress caused severe leaf senescence in potted Jatropha curcas plants.
- Intervention effect Severe drought decreased leaf relative water content (RWC) in potted Jatropha curcas plants.
- Mechanism Forty-eight hours of moderate stress is enough to drive stomatal control, which is the main barrier against water loss in Jatropha curcas.
- Intervention effect Moderate and severe drought still reduced stomatal conductance and transpiration on the fourth day after rehydration in Jatropha curcas.
