TL;DR: The ABTS/H2O2/HRP decoloration method as discussed by the authors is capable of determining both hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidant properties, thus, it is possible estimate the antioxidant activity of both antioxidant types in the same sample.

TL;DR: The auxin/cytokinin ratio in the leaves and roots may explain both the salinity-induced decrease in shoot vigour and the shift in biomass allocation to the roots, in agreement with changes in the activity of the sink-related enzyme cell wall invertase.

TL;DR: In this article, a spectrophotometric end-point method has been developed to evaluate L-ascorbic acid in aqueous media, and this represents an improvement over the lag-method previously reported.

TL;DR: The catalase activity of the enzyme and the protective role of compound III against an H2O2-dependent peroxidase inactivation are both shown to be important.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of different hormonal changes on salt-induced leaf senescence is discussed, including changes in abscisic acid (ABA), cytokinins, the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), and the auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA).
