Efficiency of hydrogen peroxide processing system [assessed in terms of activities of enzymes of ascorbate–glutathione pathway (APOX, DHAR, and GR), CAT and accumulation of reduced glutathione and ascorbate] of untreated control and PISS (150 mM and 250 mM NaCl) raised 120 h old seedlings of two contrasting rice genotypes (Oryza sativa L. Cultivars of Patnai & IR29). Values are mean of three independent replicates ± standard error. * or ** represent the values which are significantly different level, at 0.01, 0.05, level, assessed through student t test
