Physio-Biochemical Responses of Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Seedlings to Mannitol- and Polyethylene Glycol-Induced Iso-Osmotic Stresses
The aim of this investigation was to comparatively examine the physio-biochemical responses of oil palm seedlings to mannitol- and PEG-induced iso-osmotic stresses. The water content of osmotically stressed oil palm seedlings decreased, but the proline content and the electrolyte leakage of the seed...
