Table 4.
Changes of POD activity in leaf of Pui vegetable exposed to low temperature. The plants were exposed to 8 °C for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h in the cold chamber. After the treatments, the plants were immediately removed and sampling of leaf was performed. Control plants were similarly used except giving low temperature exposure.
| Treatments | Peroxidase (POD) activity (Unit g−1 of leaf) |
|---|---|
| Control | 2144.82 ± 51.93 |
| 24 h | 3324.18 ± 185.05A |
| Control | 2942.72 ± 68.01 |
| 48 h | 4961.71 ± 4.68B |
| Control | 2979.76 ± 118.22 |
| 72 h | 4530.46 ± 211.92B |
The results are means of ± SE for three values in each group.
A
p < 0.05 versus respective control.
B
p < 0.01 versus respective control.
