e3“The activities of enzymatic antioxidants and osmolytes were initially increased up to a drought level of 80% water field capacity (WFC) but gradually decreased with higher levels of drought stress (60% WFC) in the soil”
e2“two different varieties of lentil (lentil-2009 and lentil-93)”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Soil water deficit significantly decreased shoot length, total chlorophyll content and transpiration rate in both lentil varieties.
- Intervention effect Drought stress increased malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide and electrolyte leakage in lentil.
- Intervention effect Enzymatic antioxidant and osmolyte activities decreased in lentil at higher drought levels of 60% water field capacity.
- Association Lentil-2009 is more tolerant to drought stress than lentil-93.
- Intervention effect Melatonin application can overcome the negative impact of drought stress on lentil.
- Intervention effect Melatonin increased lentil plant growth and biomass, photosynthetic pigments and gas exchange characteristics.
- Intervention effect Melatonin enhanced antioxidant activities and proline content in lentil by decreasing oxidative stress.
- Recommendation Foliar application of melatonin offers new possibilities for promoting lentil drought tolerance.
