Heavy Metal Contents and Physical Parameters of Aegiceras corniculatum, Brassica juncea, and Litchi chinensis Honeys from Bangladesh
The present study was undertaken to determine the heavy metal levels and the physicochemical parameters (pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and ash, moisture, and total sugar content) of honeys from Bangladesh. Three different floral honeys were investigated, namely, khalsi (Aegiceras corniculatum), mustard (Brassica juncea), and litchi (Litchi chinensis) honeys. The heavy metals in the honeys w...
متن کاملHeavy metal toxicity: Effect on plant growth, biochemical parameters and metal accumulation by Brassica juncea L.
Plant growth, pigment concentration, biochemical parameters and uptake of heavy metals were determined for Brassica juncea L. in response to cadmium and lead stress. The plant exhibited a decline in growth, chlorophyll content and carotenoids with Cd and Pb but Cd was found to be more detrimental than Pb treatment in B. juncea. The protein content was decreased by Cd (900 μM) to 95% and 44% by ...
متن کاملIdentification of cadmium-regulated genes by cDNA-AFLP in the heavy metal accumulator Brassica juncea L.
In this study, cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP) analysis was employed to identify genes that exhibited a modulated expression following cadmium (Cd) treatment in Brassica juncea grown in hydroponic culture. Plants were treated for 6 h, 24 h, and 6 weeks with 10 microM Cd(NO3)2 and untreated 6-week-old plants were used as controls. Cd content was measured at these four tim...
متن کاملHeavy metal tolerance and accumulation in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) expressing bacterial gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase or glutathione synthetase.
The overexpression of either gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-ECS) or glutathione synthetase (GS) in Brassica juncea transgenics was shown previously to result in higher accumulation of glutathione (GSH) and phytochelatins (PCs), as well as enhanced Cd tolerance and accumulation. The present study was aimed at analyzing the effects of gamma-ECS or GS overexpression on tolerance to and a...
متن کاملEffect of 24-epibrassinolide on Seed Germination, Seedling Growth and Heavy Metal Uptake in Brassica Juncea L
The effect of 24-epibrassinolide (24-epiBL) on seedling growth, metal uptake and accumulation were investigated in seedlings of Brassica juncea L. cv. PBR 91. Seeds of B. juncea treated with different concentrations (0, 10-7, 10-9 and 10-11 M) of 24-epiBL for 8 h were subjected to various concentrations (0, 25, 50 and 100 mg l-1) of heavy metals (Zn, Mn, Co and Ni). Seedling growth was improved...
