Abstract excerpt
Higher uptake and translocation of copper (Cu) into plant tissues can cause serious physiological and biochemical alterations in root and leaf tissues of plants. The present study investigates the ameliorative role of salicylic acid (SA) and ascorbic acid (AsA) against Cu-induced toxicity changes in cotton genotypes (two parental lines (J208, Z905) and their hybrid line (ZD14)). To study the tolerance potential...
