Description:

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L. cv. HHB-67) seeds were pre-soaked in sulphydryl compounds (dithiothreitol, thioglycollic acid, thiourea, and cysteine). In plants at 59 and 67 d after sowing (DAS), activities of photosystem (PS) 2 (ferricyanide site) and PS1, both chloroplastic and total superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione-S-transferase increased after all sulphydryl pre-treatments at both stages of plant development. Also dry matter of plant parts sampled at 55 DAS was higher after thiol-treatments in comparison with control. and N. K. Ramaswamy ... [et al.].
