Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide Treatment on Sorghum Seed Germination at Low Water Potential

Recently, the temperature of the Earth has been rising due to climate change and shortage of water during the growth of the crops causes significant damage. Sorghum is more tolerant to drought stress than maize and is cultivated as a typical summer crop in Korea. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of hydrogen peroxide treatment as a measure to improve the tolerance to the drought. For this purpose, antioxidant activity against ROS and proteomic analysis for germinating seeds were investigated.
