Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Drought reduced pearl millet seedling elongation and fresh and dry biomass.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced pearl millet relative water content.
- Intervention effect Drought caused visible chlorosis lesions in pearl millet leaves versus control.
- Intervention effect After 14 and 21 days of drought, pearl millet chlorophyll content fell nearly 60% relative to controls.
- Intervention effect Drought increased H2O2 and O2●− in pearl millet roots and shoots.
- Intervention effect Drought significantly increased lipid peroxidation in pearl millet roots and shoots.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced membrane integrity in pearl millet roots alongside increased ROS and MDA.
- Intervention effect Drought inhibited CAT, GPX and SOD activities in pearl millet seedlings.
- Intervention effect Drought inhibited GR activity in pearl millet seedlings.
- Intervention effect Drought significantly reduced ascorbate and reduced glutathione levels in pearl millet.
- Observation The authors conclude pearl millet seedlings are highly susceptible to drought stress.
