Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Drought reduced plant height in both ecotypes.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced number of leaves in both ecotypes.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced plant weight in both ecotypes.
- Intervention effect Drought increased root length in both ecotypes.
- Observation The two garlic ecotypes differed significantly in leaf spectral reflectance and chlorophyll and anthocyanin indices.
- Association IC had higher antioxidant activity in the control due to higher total phenolic content.
- Observation Under drought, IB had higher DPPH radical scavenging activity.
- Observation Under drought, IC had higher FRAP values.
- Intervention effect Sucrose generally decreased under drought.
- Intervention effect Glucose generally decreased under drought.
- Intervention effect Inulin increased under drought in IB.
- Intervention effect Inulin decreased under drought in IC.
- Intervention effect Total free amino acid content increased under drought in both ecotypes.
- Mechanism IB drought tolerance may be associated with inulin and amino acid accumulation.
