Abstract

The free proline and chlorophyll contents, and the chlorophyllase, peroxidase and nitrate-reductase activities were determined in sunflower seedlings grown under controlled conditions and submitted to water stress induced by 14 % polyethyleneglycolj (M r = 4000) or isotonic NaCl solution. Combined free proline content and peroxidase activity may be used for detection of the factor inducing water stress.
