Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Drought decreased ascorbate and glutathione in Cochlearia.
- Intervention effect Drought did not increase lipid peroxidation in Cochlearia.
- Intervention effect Drought destroyed chlorophyll in Cochlearia.
- Intervention effect Drought decreased protein in Cochlearia.
- Observation Five oxygen processing enzyme activities changed little or not at all in Cochlearia.
- Observation Armeria and Cochlearia had similar decreases in relative water content and dry weight after drought.
- Observation Armeria had no glutathione loss.
- Intervention effect Drought markedly increased superoxide dismutasc and peroxidase activity in Armeria.
- Intervention effect Drought increased lipid peroxidation in Armeria.
- Mechanism The authors infer a role for ascorbic acid and glutathione in Cochlearia drought response.
- Mechanism The authors infer that enzymic processing largely protects Armeria under drought.
