Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Water deficit significantly reduced potato tuber yield and plant dry matter.
- Intervention effect Water deficit effects on photosynthetic pigments and tuber dry matter were inconsistent.
- Observation Under water deficit, 0.25 mM ascorbate had the superior effect among tested concentrations.
- Intervention effect Ascorbate enhanced tuber yield under water deficit.
- Intervention effect Ascorbate improved chlorophyll a and b and carotenoid content.
- Intervention effect Ascorbate reduced free proline and MDA.
- Intervention effect Salicylate at 1.0 mM increased chlorophyll a under all water regimes.
- Intervention effect Salicylate at 1.0 mM increased chlorophyll b under control and 4DI regimes.
- Intervention effect Salicylate at 0.5 mM improved carotenoids under 5DI.
- Intervention effect Salicylate at 0.25 mM enhanced tuber yield by 65.61% under 5DI.
- Intervention effect Salicylate at 0.5 mM enhanced tuber yield by 21.8% under 5DI.
- Intervention effect Salicylate at 1.0 mM enhanced tuber yield by 33.33% under 5DI.
- Association Salicylate yield gains coincided with lower free proline and slightly higher tuber dry matter.
- Intervention effect Silicate at 100 ppm raised chlorophyll a and b means under 4DI and 5DI.
- Intervention effect Silicate at 100 ppm reduced free proline under 4DI and 5DI.
- Intervention effect Silicate at 100 ppm gave higher tuber yield only at 5DI.
- Intervention effect Silicate at 250 ppm increased pigments, plant dry matter and tuber yield, especially at 5DI.
- Intervention effect Silicate at 250 ppm slightly reduced MDA, particularly at 5DI.
- Observation Lower ascorbate, salicylate and silicate concentrations were beneficial under higher water stress.
