e0“wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. BARI Gom-25) grown under different pH regimes”
e2“Extremely acidic (pH 4.0) and/or strongly alkaline (pH 8.5)-stress also increased oxidative damage in wheat by excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and methylglyoxal (MG) production, which increased lipid peroxidation and disrupted the redox state”

- Intervention effect Wheat seedlings grown at pH 4.0 showed reduced biomass, water and chlorophyll contents compared with pH 7.0.
- Intervention effect Wheat seedlings grown at pH 8.5 showed reduced biomass, water and chlorophyll contents compared with pH 7.0.
- Intervention effect Extreme pH stress increased lipid peroxidation in wheat seedlings.
- Intervention effect Extreme pH stress disrupted the redox state of wheat seedlings.
- Observation The lowest oxidative damage in wheat was observed at a neutral pH condition.
- Mechanism The low oxidative damage at pH 5.5 is mainly attributed to the better performance of the antioxidant defense and glyoxalase systems.
- Intervention effect Seedlings at pH 5.5 showed a significant increase in morphophysiological attributes compared with pH 4.0 and pH 8.5 stress.
- Observation Wheat tolerates the acidic condition at pH 5.5.
