Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Rapid desiccation retained full radicle viability.
- Intervention effect Slow drying sharply reduced viability at about 0.26 g g¹ dm.
- Association Faster dehydration lowered critical water content for survival.
- Intervention effect Rapid desiccation increased malate dehydrogenase activity and levels of oxidized NAD.
- Intervention effect Rapid desiccation was accompanied by lower hydroperoxide levels and membrane damage.
- Intervention effect Glutathione reductase activity was greater during rapid drying.
- Method / resource Radicles were a useful model for desiccation sensitivity in plant tissues.
