Growth and biochemical changes in acer oblongum wall. Seedlings under short-term moisture stress

ABSTRACT

The over all response of seedlings of Acer oblongum to different water stress levels indicated that the process of plant growth metabolic and enzymatic activities were affected by water stress differently. Although some metabolic changes occurred in stressed plants in comparison to control plants, accumulation of more proline in stressed plants certainly protected the seedlings from stress and consequently growth was not much affected[1, 2]
