TLDR
Results possibly suggest that the drought-tolerant tepary bean P. acutifolius showed a better protection mechanism against oxidative damage by maintaining higher constitutive and induced activities of antioxidant enzymes, than the sensitive commonbean P. vulgaris under water stress imposed by PEG treatment.
