Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Under water stress, Kleb-treated tomato plants had about 35% higher yield than untreated stressed plants.
- Intervention effect Fruit quality parameters were not significantly affected by the Kleb treatment.
- Intervention effect In Kleb-treated tomato plants, lycopene content increased only under standard conditions.
- Intervention effect Kleb-treated tomato plants showed significantly increased polyphenol content under both water stress and standard conditions.
- Intervention effect In Kleb-treated tomato plants under water stress, lipid peroxidation decreased by 58% in the leaves.
- Intervention effect In Kleb-treated tomato plants under water stress, lipid peroxidation decreased by 19% in the fruits.
- Association In tomato fruits, correlation analysis showed positive relationships among key stress markers.
- Mechanism Kleb extract is suggested to enhance resilience to water stress in tomato plants by modulating antioxidant responses and secondary metabolite production.
