Table 2.

Antioxidant activities (APX, GR, CAT, SOD) and the concentrations of reactive oxygen species (H2O2, O2) in fully expanded young leaves of two barley cultivars (Milford and Sahin-91) grown in the nutrient solution under low (0.04 mM K+) and adequate (0.8 mM K+) K supply without (−PEG) and with (+PEG) PEG-induced water deficit. Means of samples taken between 11 and 19 DAO ± SE are shown (n = 18).
