Verbatim
e0“olive plants (drought treatment) were subjected to an episode of heat plus UV-B radiation shock (DH+UV-B treatment) for 2 days. After the treatments, plants were allowed to grow under irrigated conditions (recovery). Compared with irrigated plants, drought treatment induced lower relative water content but this status was not aggravated when DH+UV-B shock was applied. Additionally, the effective quantum yield of PSII was similar in the drought-stressed and DH+UV-B treatments. Interestingly, the DH+UV-B treatment produced higher photosynthetic pigment contents than drought-stressed plants. Concerning oxidative status, the DH+UV-B treatment induced similar lipid peroxidation levels and only cell membrane permeability was higher than in drought-stressed plants”
