Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect The moderate RCP 4.5 scenario did not negatively affect broccoli fitness.
- Intervention effect The severe RCP 8.5 scenario markedly reduced broccoli vegetative growth and photosystem II efficiency.
- Association Xcc race 4 was the most aggressive race under current climate and RCP 4.5.
- Association Xcc race 1 gained virulence on broccoli under RCP 8.5 at later infection stages.
- Intervention effect Xcc infection increased broccoli leaf temperature and lipid peroxidation, regardless of race.
- Intervention effect Xcc infection stimulated accumulation of phenolics and other antioxidant metabolites in broccoli.
- Mechanism The metabolic changes in broccoli mitigated oxidative damage.
- Association The metabolic changes did not prevent the decline in broccoli photosynthetic performance under climate conditions.
