Pivotal role of fibrous roots in drought tolerance of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) and mitigation of oxidative stress by penconazole

Abstract We investigated the effects of PEG-induced drought on the antioxidative mechanisms of Crocus sativus L. and the mitigating effects of PEN on drought tolerance. Contents of H₂O₂ and MDA in fibrous roots were considerably lower than those in leaves and were attenuated by PEN pretreatment. Act...
