Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Heat stress increased membrane injury, lipid peroxide and H2O2 content.
- Observation Heat-resistant C 306 and C 273 had lower lipid peroxidation and membrane injury.
- Mechanism Better antioxidant expression explained lower injury in heat-resistant genotypes.
- Intervention effect Thiourea increased total soluble proteins, amino acids and chlorophyll across tested genotypes.
- Intervention effect Thiourea-related changes increased plant height, peduncle length and weight, and grain weight.
- Observation PBW 550 and PBW 343 had higher grain weight than C 306 and C 273 despite greater membrane injury.
- Intervention effect Combined seed and foliar thiourea was more effective for wheat performance and yield components.
