The effects of salicylic acid (SA) pretreatment on ascorbate–glutathione (GSH) cycle under chilling stress in eggplant seedlings were investigated. Salicylic acid pretreatment improved chilling resistance of eggplant seedlings with maximum efficiency at a concentration of 0.3%. The chilling injury i...
