  1. *Data are shown as mean ± SD (n = 10). Group 1: control, Group 2: 0.5 g/L CME, Group 3: 1.0 g/L CME, Group 4: 100 mg/L diniconazole, Group 5: 0.5 g/L CME + 100 mg/L diniconazole, Group 6: 1.0 g/L CME + 100 mg/L diniconazole. SOD superoxide dismutase, CAT catalase, MDA malondialdehyde. The averages shown with different letters (a–d) in the same column are statistically significant (p < 0.05).
