The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) and fluridone on the content of endogenous phytohormones and free polyamines and the intensity of oxidative stress was studied in plants of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. under salinity. It was shown that the pretreatment of plant roots with 1 µM ABA, followed by the action of 300 mM NaCl, caused a protective effect and improved the physiological state of the plants, which was man ifested in increased biomass and content of available cytokinins and reduced values of the indicators of oxi dative stress. It was noted that the inhibitor fluridone reduced the effect of ABA and acted as a pro oxidant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
