Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Sorbitol treatment reduced root length and shoot length of maize.
- Observation The decrease in root length under sorbitol was smaller than the decrease in shoot length.
- Intervention effect Sorbitol decreased the fresh weight of maize leaf segments in a concentration-dependent manner.
- Intervention effect Sorbitol increased the dry weight of maize leaf segments in a concentration-dependent manner.
- Intervention effect Sorbitol treatment reduced total chlorophylls, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b in maize.
- Intervention effect The decrease in chlorophyll b under sorbitol was more prominent than the decrease in chlorophyll a.
- Intervention effect Sorbitol treatment declined carotenoid content marginally in maize.
- Intervention effect Supplying sorbitol decreased protein and RNA content in maize.
- Intervention effect Supplying sorbitol increased proline content in maize.
- Intervention effect Supplying sorbitol increased in vivo nitrate reductase activity in maize.
