– quantification of antioxidant metabolites (ascorbic acid, proline, hydrogen peroxide, glutathione) and antioxidant enzymes by using spectrophotometry;
– studying the modulation of the antioxidant and glyoxalate systems in citrus sp., tomato and rice plants exposed to abiotic stress by using spectrophotometric as well as SDS-PAGE;
