Verbatim
e0“Therefore, it is suggested that the ratio between superoxide dismutase and H2O2-scavenging enzyme activities could be used as a working hypothesis for a biochemical marker for salt tolerance in sorghum.”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Salt stress reduced shoot growth more in the sensitive than tolerant genotype.
- Intervention effect At 75 mM NaCl, lipid peroxidation did not change significantly in the two genotypes.
- Intervention effect Salt stress increased superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in both genotypes.
- Association Salt-induced antioxidant-enzyme increases were higher in the tolerant genotype.
- Intervention effect Salt stress decreased peroxidase activities in the salt-sensitive genotype.
- Intervention effect Salt stress increased peroxidase activities in the salt-tolerant genotype.
- Association The superoxide dismutase to H2O2-scavenging enzyme activity ratio was higher in the sensitive genotype.
