Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Garlic plants grown under a low Se dose at low S level had a 12.0% higher fresh weight yield than the controls.
- Intervention effect Garlic plants grown under a low Se dose at low S level had a 13.7% higher dry weight yield than the controls.
- Intervention effect Chlorophyll concentration decreased in garlic plants grown under the low Se dose at low S level.
- Intervention effect Se-treated garlic plants showed lower lipid peroxidation than control plants.
- Intervention effect Se-treated garlic plants showed higher activities of glutathione peroxidase and catalase.
- Intervention effect Se-treated garlic plants showed lower superoxide dismutase activities.
- Intervention effect Changes in Fv/Fm values and proline contents in garlic were affected more strongly by S than by Se.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that Se delays senescence in garlic seedlings by alleviating peroxide stress.
- Intervention effect Se can be toxic to garlic at high levels.
