Title

Guo Li Acta Botanica Yunnanica 2004
Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Pretreatment of maize seeds with CaCl2 solution increased seedling survival rate under chilling, heat, drought and salt stress.
- Intervention effect EGTA seed pretreatment decreased seedling survival rate under the same stresses.
- Intervention effect EGTA seed treatment lowered glutathione reductase activity in seedlings under stress.
- Mechanism Glutathione reductase is involved in the calcium-enhanced multi-resistance and stress tolerance of maize seedlings.
