Exogenous sucrose influences antioxidant enzyme activities and reduces lipid peroxidation in water-stressed cucumber leaves

To investigate whether exogenous sucrose can protect cucumber from water stress, cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) seedlings were pretreated with 90 mM sucrose or 90 mM mannitol for 1 d and then were dehydrated with 10 % (m/v) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 for further 1 d. Dehydration inhibited plant g...
