Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Stress decreased relative water content.
- Observation Changes were greater under drought than UV-B or the combined stresses.
- Observation Both stresses stimulated antioxidant enzyme activity.
- Observation Superoxide dismutase activity increased by day 2, before the other two enzymes.
- Observation Guaiacol peroxidase and glutathione reductase activity increased on days 5 and 7.
- Observation Enzyme activity elevation was higher under drought than UV-B.
- Observation Combined UV-B and drought were described as synergistic, with each reducing the other’s effect.
