Effects of Climate Temperature and Water Stress on Plant Growth and Accumulation of Antioxidant Compounds in Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) Leafy Vegetable

Figure 5

Effect of different climate temperatures (C, 25°C; T₁, 35°C; T₂, 45°C; and T₃, 55°C) and water stress (WS) treatments on glycine betaine (GB) (a, b), proline (c, d), and total sugar contents after two sampling periods (S1, 14 days and S2, 21 days) in basil plants (mean ± SD, n = 10). Asterisks indicate significant differences between sampling periods of each treatment and differences between treatments for the same sampling period according to the Tukey test (α = 0.05).
