Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Water stress increased reactive oxygen species and malonaldehyde accumulation.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased membrane stability, relative water content, and relative growth rate.
- Intervention effect Spermidine alleviated water-stress damage.
- Intervention effect Spermidine promoted the ascorbate-glutathione cycle.
- Intervention effect Spermidine-treated plants maintained greater antioxidant enzyme activities than untreated plants.
- Intervention effect Spermidine-treated plants had higher transcript levels of antioxidant-enzyme genes than untreated plants.
- Intervention effect Under water stress, spermidine-treated plants accumulated more free proline.
- Intervention effect Spermidine accelerated proline catabolism under water stress.
- Intervention effect Spermidine accelerated proline biosynthesis through the glutamate pathway under water stress.
- Intervention effect Spermidine had no effect on the ornithine pathway of proline biosynthesis.
- Mechanism The authors suggest spermidine may regulate antioxidant defense, organic solute accumulation, and proline metabolism under water stress.
