t0“water deficit stressed spinach plant”
e1“The results revealed that the number of leaves per plant (1.00–2.67), leaf size (1.36 × 0.53 cm), root length (3 cm), chlorophyll content (0.50–0.70 mg/g leaf) and superoxide dismutase activity (51.95 units/100 mg of leaf protein) were significantly decreased in water deficit stress exposed plants when compared to the control”
