Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Water stress significantly reduced wheat relative water content and gas exchange attributes.
- Intervention effect Water stress significantly reduced wheat plant height, yield, and yield-related attributes.
- Intervention effect Water stress markedly increased wheat hydrogen peroxide and free proline levels.
- Intervention effect Water stress markedly increased wheat malondialdehyde activity and soluble protein concentration.
- Intervention effect Zinc levels significantly improved CAT, SOD, and POD activities at 40% WHC.
- Intervention effect Zinc levels significantly improved ASP activity at 40% WHC.
- Intervention effect Foliar 10 mM zinc improved wheat plant height, relative water content, and gas exchange under water stress.
- Intervention effect Foliar 15 mM zinc improved wheat plant height, relative water content, and gas exchange under water stress.
- Intervention effect Foliar 10 mM zinc increased wheat grain yield under water stress compared with control.
- Intervention effect Foliar 10 mM zinc improved wheat grains per spike, 100 grain weight, and biological yield under water stress.
- Intervention effect Increasing zinc levels increased wheat leaf zinc concentration.
- Recommendation The authors suggest 10 mM zinc to alleviate water-stress impacts and enhance grain biofortification.
