Impact of proline application on cadmium accumulation, mineral nutrition and enzymatic antioxidant defense system of Olea europaea L. cv Chemlali exposed to cadmium stress
Mohamed Zouari,Mohamed Zouari,Chedlia Ben Ahmed,Nada Elloumi,Khaled Bellassoued,David Delmail,Pascal Labrousse,Ferjani Ben Abdallah,Béchir Ben Rouina +8 more
TL;DR: Generally, it seems that proline supplementation alleviated the deleterious effects of young olive plants exposed to Cd stress and showed an increase of antioxidant enzymes activities, photosynthetic activity, nutritional status, plant growth and oil content of olive fruit.
