Co-exposure Effects of Selenium and Mercury on Phaseolus vulgaris Excised Leaves Segment by Enhancing the NR, Anti-oxidative Enzyme Activity and Detoxification Mechanisms

چکیده
Agricultural useful soils in many parts of India and the world are slightly contaminated by presence of heavy metal toxicity. Few as Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Cr, Pb, and As. This because long-term use of phosphatic fertilizers, sewage sludge application, dust from smelters, industrial waste and bad watering practices in agricultural lands [13]. Toxics Link in India has been involved both at the global and the national level in working on the issues of mercury (Hg). Hg distribution in the environment has been a focus of scientific attention because of the potential health risks posed by Hg exposure [4].

Nitrate reductase (NR) is the key enzyme of nitrate assimilation subjected to inhibition by heavy metal treatment .In general, the inhibitory effect of heavy metals may be attributed to either blocking the supply of reducing equivalents of nitrate reduction, formation of mercurial derivatives of thiol(–SH) groups of nitrate reductase or synthesis of phytochelatins (PC).The effect of mercury(Hg)...
متن کاملInfluence of cadmium on water relations, stomatal resistance, and abscisic Acid content in expanding bean leaves.
Ten day old bush bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv Contender) were used to analyze the effects of 3 micromolar Cd on the time courses of expansion growth, dry weight, leaf water relations, stomatal resistance, and abscisic acid (ABA) levels in roots and leaves. Control and Cd-treated plants were grown for 144 hours in nutrient solution. Samples were taken at 24 hour intervals. At the 96 and...

An experimental chemical N-[2-(2-oxo-1-imidazolidinyl)ethyl]-N'-phenylurea (EDU), is an effective protectant against acute and chronic foliar injury due to ozone (0(3)) when sprayed on intact leaves or supplied to the plants through soil application. An 0(3)-sensitive snap bean cultivar (Phaseolus vulgaris L. ;Bush Blue Lake 290') was systemically treated with EDU (0, 25, 50, and 100 milligrams...
