Description
Summary:(ProQuest: ... denotes non-USASCII text omitted.) Abstract This project was design to test the impact of putrescine and salt on different biochemical attributes [photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll b, chlorophyll a and carotenoids), reducing and non-reducing sugars, carbohydrates, total flavonoids, total proteins, total antioxidants and total phenols] of Zea mays L (corn). Present project was performed to examine the effect of exogenous application of putrescine on some biochemical parameters (total phenols, flavonoids, total chlorophyll, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll a, carotenoids, antioxidants, protein, reducing and non- reducing sugars, total carbohydrates) of Zea mays L. raised under different concentrations of salt. Increase in phenolic content is clear indication of secondary metabolism stimulation under salt stress and possible role of phenolic compounds against oxidative stress under salinity as defense mechanism. (1997) studied cucumber plant under NaCl stress and observed significant promotion in antioxidative enzymes activities such as glutathione reductase and catalase, ascorbic acid content which swrves as antioxidant and reduced glutathione but does not affect the activity of superoxide dismutase.
