Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Moderate drought stress significantly decreased ϕE0, Ψ0 and PIABS in maize.
- Intervention effect Moderate drought stress significantly increased ABS/RC in maize compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Moderate drought stress caused no significant change in the fast MR phase and the amplitude of DF in maize compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Under severe drought stress, the exchange capacity between QA and QB, the reoxidation capacity of plastoquinol, and the oxidation and re-reduction rates of PC and P700 all decreased in maize.
- Intervention effect Under moderate drought stress the photochemical activity of PSI in maize was unscathed.
- Intervention effect Severe drought stress inhibited the entire electron transport chain from the donor side of PSII to the PSI-end electron acceptors in maize.
- Intervention effect In maize the photochemical activity of PSII is more sensitive to drought stress than that of PSI.
