Oxidative injury and antioxidant responses were investigated in two banana genotypes (Musa AAA ‘Berangan’ and Musa AA ‘Mas’) subjected to 40 % PEG-induced water stress. PEG treatment resulted in oxidative injury, as expressed in increased lipid peroxidation and reduced membrane stability index, in...
