Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Higher ROS and MDA accumulation were associated with accelerated maize leaf senescence during grain filling.
- Mechanism Maize leaf senescence disintegrated photosynthetic pigments and reduced net photosynthetic rate after silking.
- Intervention effect Paclobutrazol treatment lessened ROS burst in maize leaves.
- Intervention effect Paclobutrazol treatment inhibited maize leaf senescence and chlorophyll degradation.
- Observation Antioxidant enzyme activity was upregulated in paclobutrazol-treated maize.
- Mechanism Enhanced chlorophyll and green leaf area maintained higher photosynthetic rate during grain filling.
- Association Photosynthetic light harvesting efficiency was associated with higher kernel number and thousand kernel weight.
- Observation The 300 mg L−1 paclobutrazol treatment was most promising for antioxidant activity, delayed senescence and yield.
