Figure 1:
Effect of distilled water as control (DW for 20 h), gibberellic acid (GAᴣ for 20 h) and indoleacetic acid (IAA 20 h) imbibition, and pre-stress treatment of sub-lethal temperature (40°C for 1 h) on seedlings length of green gram under lethal-temperature stress. Vertical bars indicate standard error (n=3), and significant differences (P< 0.05) are marked with different letters.
Figure 2:
Effect of DW, GAᴣ, IAA and 40°C on the total soluble protein of green gram under lethal-temperature stress. Vertical bars indicate standard error (n=3), and significant differences (P< 0.05) are marked with different letters.
Figure 3:
Effect of DW, GAᴣ, IAA, and 40°C on ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity in green gram under lethal-temperature stress. Vertical bars indicate standard error (n=3), and significant differences (P< 0.05) are marked with different letters.
Figure 4:
Effect of DW, GAᴣ, IAA and 40°C on catalase (CAT) activity in green gram under lethal-temperature stress. Vertical bars indicate standard error (n=3), and significant differences (P< 0.05) are marked with different letters.
Figure 5:
Effect of DW, GAᴣ, IAA, and 40°C on guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) activity in green gram under lethal-temperature stress. Vertical bars indicate standard error (n=3), and significant differences (P< 0.05) are marked with different letters.
