Abstract The current study investigated the comparative oxidative damage in two maize seedlings induced by saline, drought,
and combined stress and the ameliorative role of two different doses (20 and 80 µM) of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) against
the above-mentioned stresses. Hydroponically grown 10-day-old maize (Zea mays, var. BARI Hybrid Maize-7 (BHM-7) and
BARI Hybrid Maize-9 (BHM-9)) seedlings were exposed to 12 dS/m of saline solution, 200 mM mannitol-induced drought
stress alone and their combined stress for 7 days. Result revealed that individual stresses retard the plant growth to some
degrees; however, their combined stress has more detrimental effects, which might be… More >
