Enhanced Ascorbate Peroxidase Activity in EBL-Treated Plants: A Study on Drought Tolerance

Compared with the drought-treated group, all three EBL-treated groups showed a significant increase in apx activity, with concentrations of 1m, 2m, and 3m, respectively. The highest increase was 39%. These findings suggest that EBL treatment can effectively enhance the antioxidant capacity of plants, potentially contributing to improved drought tolerance.
