Assessing the effect of temperature stressors on maize plants from the change in antioxidative activity

The effect of low (3°C) and high (44°C) temperatures on stress indices in young maize plants is examined. Unfavorable temperatures cause inhibition of the growth of axial organs, intensification of lipid peroxidation, and reduction of antioxidant activity, from the degree of suppression of which the...

Description
Summary:The effect of low (3°C) and high (44°C) temperatures on stress indices in young maize plants is examined. Unfavorable temperatures cause inhibition of the growth of axial organs, intensification of lipid peroxidation, and reduction of antioxidant activity, from the degree of suppression of which the intensity of the stress effect of abiotic factors on plants can be judged.
