Physiological parameters in shoots and roots of finger millet plants exposed to different drought stress conditions with and without spermidine treatment. a, b Relative water content, c, d Proline content, e, f Electrolyte leakage, g, h Caspase-like activity, i, j Hydrogen peroxide. Data analyzed for all the parameters 3 weeks after water deficit treatment with and without spermidine sprays. Data are given as the mean ± SE of three independent experiments. Means followed the same bar that have the same letter are significantly different at p ≤ 0.05 based on Duncan’s multiple range test. SPM, Spermidine. Every column in each graph represents the mean ± SE of three replicates
