Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Germination decreased markedly under ABA, NaCl and drought treatments.
- Intervention effect Endosperm fresh weight decreased significantly, and only under drought stress.
- Intervention effect Endosperm dry weight showed no significant change under the other treatments.
- Intervention effect Acid phosphatase activity increased in embryos under NaCl.
- Intervention effect Alkaline phosphatase activity was substantially higher under all treatments.
- Intervention effect Acid phosphatase activity increased significantly in endosperm under ABA and NaCl.
- Intervention effect Alkaline phosphatase activity was apparently higher under GA3.
- Intervention effect Acid and alkaline phosphatase activities showed no substantial change after drought.
- Mechanism Changes in phosphatase enzymes might play a role in the adaptation of germinating sorghum seeds to changing environments.
