Abstract:The modulation of hormone and metabolite levels by ascorbate (ASA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was compared during post‐germination growth in shoots of wheat. Treatment with ASA resulted in a greater reduction of growth than the addition of H2O2. ASA also had a larger effect on the redox state of the shoot tissues as shown by the higher ASA and glutathione (GSH) levels, lower glutathione disulfide (GSSG) content and GSSG/GSH ratio compared to the H2O2 treatment. Apart from common responses (i.e., increase of … Show more
