Effects of chitosan on protective enzyme activities in seedlings of wheat under drought stress
The effects of chitosan on activities of protective enzyme in seedlings of wheat under drought stress were studied by measuring activities of SOD, POD and CAT. The results showed that all groups improved the ac- tivities significantly compared with control. Physiological characteristics of seelings of wheat in different groups are similar during the pocess of drought, but testing groups recovered faster than control after drought. Spraying chitosan liquid can improved activities of protective enzyme in seedlings of wheat under drought stress significant- ly.
