e0“The oxidative damage measured as thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substances was lesser in ABA‐treated plants that was associated with greater activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, ascorbic acid, glutathione and proline in these plants.”

- 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.
