"Exogenous p-Coumaric Acid Improves Salvia hispanica L. Seedling Shoot Growth" Plants 8, no. 12: 546. https://doi.org/10.3390/plants81205462223-7747http://hdl.handle.net/10566/8228p-Coumaric acid (p-CA) belongs to a family of natural esters of hydroxycinnamic acid compounds that have been shown to modulate plant growth and metabolism. In this study, we investigated the effect of exogenous p-CA on plant growth, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative damage, photosynthetic metabolism, osmolyte content and changes in superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymatic activity.en-USchiachlorophyll contentosmoprotectantsoxidative stressp-coumaric acidArticle
