Paper Summary

Sorbitol treatment negatively affects the growth of maize seedlings. It reduces germination rate, root and shoot length, and chlorophyll levels. Protein and RNA content also decrease, while proline content and nitrate reductase activity increase. Overall, sorbitol stress inhibits the growth of maize plants.
