e0“The mechanisms of growth inhibition and antioxidative response were investigated in wheat roots exposed to 300 μM iron together with different zinc concentrations (0, 50, and 250 μM)”
e5“Further study showed the stimulation of total superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase (GR) activities as well as apoplastic catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and GR in Zn + Fe-stressed roots in comparison with Fe-alone-treated ones”
