Reduction of photosynthetic sensitivity in response to abiotic stress in tomato is mediated by a new generation plant activator

Table 2 Alethea provides protection to the photosynthetic apparatus of a range of cultivated species

Values indicate visually assessed necrosis as a percentage of foliar canopy cover in four species, 3 d following treatment with either a water control, or 500 μM methyl viologen (MV) 24 h after a water (Con) or Alethea (AL) pre-treatment, ± S.E. Letters indicate significant differences between treatments according to one-way ANOVA and Tukey (P < 0.05), and lower row indicates number of plants assessed in total, with number of replicate experiments in brackets; replicate plants were pooled following ANOVA confirmation of non-significance between replicate experiments.
