#Data in the table are expressed by mean ± SD, n = 6. Data followed by different superscript capital letter within same column means significant difference at P = 0.01 level. ∗Relative activity of AHAS was determined as the percentage of absorbance value of each sample of TBM-treated plants and the corresponding sample of the control plants (treated with 0 mg⋅L-1 of TBM).
