Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect ABA mitigated cold-induced declines in tetrazolium reduction, leaf water content and chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect ABA increased pollen viability, pollen germination and flower retention relative to stressed plants.
- Intervention effect ABA increased pod set relative to stressed plants.
- Intervention effect ABA improved seed yield over stressed plants.
- Intervention effect ABA increased seed weight and single-seeded pod number.
- Intervention effect ABA reduced the number of infertile pods.
- Intervention effect ABA-treated plants had less oxidative damage.
- Association ABA-treated plants had greater antioxidant enzyme activities and antioxidant levels.
- Mechanism The authors attribute partial cold-stress recovery to improved leaf water status and reduced oxidative damage.
