Abstract excerpt
Response of antioxidative defense system to drought stress was studied in two cultivars of maize differing in sensitivity to drought. The six-days-old seedlings were transferred in to different concentrations of polyethyleneglycol (PEG) 6000 as drought stress treatment. After 24 h treatment with PEG 6000 an increase was observed in protective enzymes, MDA content and electrolyte leakage. Under drought stress the...
