Abstract To counteract the effects of drought stress, scientists have adopted several approaches including the use of different chemicals both inorganic and organic, which is contemplated as a highly efficient and cost-effective shot-gun
approach. Ascorbic acid (AsA) is a potential organic substance, which widely occurs in plants, and is considered
to be an effective antioxidant to counteract reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thus, a pot experiment was performed
to assess the relative mitigating impacts of synthetic AsA and naturally occurring AsA in the form of lemon juice
(LJ) and orange juice (OJ) on two cultivars of okra (Abelmoschus… More >
