Essentiality of nickel in plants: a role in plant stresses
The element Ni is considered an essential plant micronutrient because it acts as an activator of the enzyme urease. Recent studies have shown that Ni may activate an isoform of glyoxalase I, which performs an important step in the degradation of methylglyoxal (MG), a potent cytotoxic compound naturally produced by cellular metabolism. Reduced glutathione (GSH) is consumed and regenerated in the...
متن کاملHeat tolerance in plants: An overview
Heat stress due to increased temperature is an agricultural problem in many areas in the world. Transitory or constantly high temperatures ause an array of morpho-anatomical, physiological and biochemical changes in plants, which affect plant growth and development and may ead to a drastic reduction in economic yield. The adverse effects of heat stress can be mitigated by developing crop plants...
متن کاملAn Overview of Selenium Uptake, Metabolism, and Toxicity in Plants
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for humans and animals, but lead to toxicity when taken in excessive amounts. Plants are the main source of dietary Se, but essentiality of Se for plants is still controversial. However, Se at low doses protects the plants from variety of abiotic stresses such as cold, drought, desiccation, and metal stress. In animals, Se acts as an antioxidant and h...
متن کاملToxicity of Nanoparticles and an Overview of Current Experimental Models
Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field having potential applications in many areas. Nanoparticles (NPs) have been studied for cell toxicity, immunotoxicity, and genotoxicity. Tetrazolium-based assays such as MTT, MTS, and WST-1 are used to determine cell viability. Cell inflammatory response induced by NPs is checked by measuring inflammatory biomarkers, such as IL-8, IL-6, and tumor necrosi...
متن کاملAMELIORATION OF NICKEL TOXICITY IN SOYBEAN PLANTS BY GIBBERELLIN AND ASCORBIC ACID
The interactive effects of nickel (Ni) and ascorbic acid (AsA) and gibberellin (GA3) on soybean seedlings (Glycine max L. cv. Union × Elf) were examined. Seven-day old hydroponically-grown seedlings were exposed to NiCl2, 6H2O (0.5 mM), either with or without AsA (1 mM) or GA3 (0.05 mM) or AsA (1 mM) plus GA3 (0.05 mM), for five days. Nickel toxicity symptoms, such as formation of reddish-brown...
