Abstract
⺠The level of paraquat injury was lower in younger leaves than in older leaves. ⺠Differential leaf response to paraquat was partially correlated with the change in catalase, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase activities. ⺠Higher tolerance to paraquat-mediated oxidative and abiotic stresses in young leaves of most squash cultivars might contribute to the differential prevention of oxidative damage in leaves of various ages.
