Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Drought at 60% field capacity significantly suppressed plant biomass, plant height, and chlorophyll a and b contents in white clover.
- Intervention effect Drought at 60% field capacity significantly suppressed total soluble proteins in white clover.
- Intervention effect Drought at 60% field capacity significantly suppressed shoot and root P, Ca2+, and K+ contents in white clover.
- Intervention effect Drought at 80% and 60% levels increased MDA concentration in the Layalpur Late white clover cultivar.
- Intervention effect Drought at 80% increased MDA concentration in the Super Late Fsd white clover cultivar.
- Intervention effect Drought at 60% field capacity decreased MDA concentration in the Super Late Fsd white clover cultivar.
- Intervention effect Drought stress had no significant effect on phenolic contents of white clover.
- Intervention effect Drought stress significantly enhanced levels of ascorbic acid in white clover.
- Intervention effect Drought stress significantly enhanced activities of antioxidant enzymes (CAT, SOD, and POD) in white clover.
- Intervention effect Varying levels of thiamin significantly improved shoot length, root length, and photosynthetic pigments of white clover.
- Intervention effect Exogenous thiamin spray caused no considerable change in ascorbic acid, total soluble proteins, or antioxidant activities of white clover.
- Association Super Late Fsd performed better than Layalpur Late in shoot and root P of white clover.
- Association Layalpur Late performed better than Super Late Fsd in root dry weight and root length of white clover.
- Intervention effect Foliar application of 100 mM thiamin was effective in improving growth of both white clover cultivars.
- Mechanism The growth improvement under thiamin is attributed to thiamin-induced improvement in photosynthetic pigments and phenolic contents.
