Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Drought reduced photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced water-use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Exogenous MeJA decreased stomatal conductance and transpiration.
- Intervention effect Exogenous MeJA stimulated water-use efficiency.
- Intervention effect MeJA mitigated drought-induced declines in photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and WUE by 6–183%.
- Mechanism Stomatal closure improved water status and delayed senescence.
- Intervention effect MeJA enhanced superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase activities.
- Intervention effect MeJA reduced malondialdehyde content.
- Intervention effect MeJA mitigated declines of maximum photosynthetic rate, apparent quantum yield and saturation irradiance.
- Intervention effect MeJA mitigated an increase in compensation irradiance.
- Intervention effect Drought stress increased dark respiration.
- Intervention effect Exogenous MeJA increased dark respiration.
- Association Drought and MeJA had additive effects on dark respiration.
- Mechanism Authors conclude MeJA enhanced drought-stressed wheat photosynthesis through improved water status and antioxidant capacity.
