Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Water deficit significantly increased catalase, ascorbate and peroxidase activities.
- Intervention effect Water deficit significantly increased malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide.
- Intervention effect Water deficit reduced white sugar yield and root yield.
- Intervention effect Foliar jasmonic acid further enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity in water deficit treated plants.
- Intervention effect Foliar jasmonic acid increased white sugar content and potassium concentrations under water deficit.
- Intervention effect Foliar jasmonic acid increased white sugar yield and final root yield under water deficit.
- Intervention effect Jasmonic acid effects were stronger under severe water deficit than under mild water deficit or full watering.
- Intervention effect Under severe water deficit, 10 µM foliar jasmonic acid increased root yield by 21%.
- Intervention effect Under severe water deficit, 10 µM foliar jasmonic acid increased white sugar production by 24%.
- Mechanism Authors conclude that jasmonic acid improves water deficit tolerance by upregulating antioxidant enzymes.
