Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Drought stress increased proline levels in finger millet leaves.
- Intervention effect Drought stress elevated the activities of SOD, CAT, APX and GR in finger millet leaves.
- Intervention effect Water deficit significantly increased lipoxygenase enzyme activity and its gene expression in finger millet.
- Mechanism Improved drought tolerance in millet may be due to increased lipoxygenase capacity and the antioxidative system.
