Effects of water deficit on leaf relative water content (LRWC) (a), relative electrolyte leakage (REL) (b), and malondialdehyde (MDA) (c) in C. humili leaves. Values are presented as means ± SE (n = 3). The values were determined under control and water deficit treatment at 0, 6, 12, and 24 days. * and ** indicate values that differ significantly from controls at p ≤ 0.05 and p ≤ 0.01, respectively, according to LSD test
