Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced chlorophyll and proline content.
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced net photosynthesis and stomatal conductance.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased Na+ and Cl- content.
- Intervention effect Salinity lowered K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ concentrations.
- Observation Ion imbalance was greater in CCRI-79 than in Simian3.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity raised SOD, APX, and GR activities in CCRI-79 leaves and roots.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity reduced CAT activity in CCRI-79.
- Observation SOD, CAT, APX, and GR activities were higher in CCRI-79 than Simian 3.
- Observation CAT and APX had the greatest H2O2 scavenging activity in leaves and roots.
- Mechanism The authors infer a protective role for CAT, APX, and SOD in scavenging.
- Mechanism CCRI-79 mitigated oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation through higher antioxidant activity.
