Hypoxia treatment on germinating faba bean (Vicia faba L.) seeds enhances GABA-related protection against salt stress
The γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid with some functional properties for human health. Its content is usually lower in plant seeds. Hypoxia or salt (NaCl) stress is an effective way for accumulating GABA during seed germination. However, NaCl stress on GABA accumulatio...
