Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Bioregulator application maintained higher relative water content, photosynthetic rate and Fv/Fm under water stress.
- Intervention effect Bioregulator application lowered lipid peroxidation (LPO) under water stress.
- Intervention effect Imposed water deficit enhanced lipid peroxidation (LPO).
- Intervention effect Bioregulators strongly induced expression of the RbcL gene in chickpea under water stress.
- Intervention effect Expression of the RbcL gene was low in chickpea under water stress.
- Intervention effect Bioregulators in general and cytokinins in particular strongly induced expression of glycolate oxidase and glycine decarboxylase H subunit in Desi chickpea.
- Intervention effect Desi chickpea showed poor expression of glycolate oxidase and glycine decarboxylase H subunit under imposed stress.
- Mechanism Bioregulators protected the photosynthetic machinery under water deficit by inducing RbcL and photorespiratory gene expression.
