Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation A 100 mg/L application of plant growth regulators did not induce oxidative damage or repair activities in maize.
- Intervention effect Trehalose significantly increased chlorophyll content in maize at V6.
- Intervention effect Trehalose promoted dry matter accumulation in the roots and shoots of maize at V6 and V10.
- Intervention effect Trehalose treatment significantly enhanced the activities of carbon and nitrogen metabolizing enzymes in maize.
- Intervention effect Trehalose promoted the accumulation of sucrose and soluble sugar in maize.
- Intervention effect Trehalose did not change the biosynthesis of auxin and gibberellin in maize at V6.
- Mechanism Changes in carbon and nitrogen metabolism enzymes in maize are regulated by transcription of related synthetic genes.
- Intervention effect Trehalose-treated maize leaves have lower starch content.
- Intervention effect The effect of trehalose on metabolic activity in maize was short-term and promoting (0-12 days).
- Intervention effect The effect of trehalose on maize growth was long-term and cumulative (13-28 days).
- Intervention effect Trehalose induced stronger carbon and nitrogen metabolic activity in maize than chitosan, humic acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid.
- Intervention effect Trehalose induced more dry matter accumulation in maize than chitosan, humic acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid.
