Cadmium stress consolation in melatonin supplemented Cucumis sativus through modulation of antioxidative defense system
Current studies elucidate the metal stress attenuation potential of melatonin in Cucumis sativus seedlings growing in cadmium contaminated conditions. Melatonin is an indoleamine molecule, capable of ameliorating environmental stresses and regulate plant growth. Seeds of C. sativus were immersed in different levels of melatonin and grown under cadmium stress for 15 days. Cadmi...
متن کاملاثر کلرید کادمیوم بر رنگیزه های فتوسنتزی، محتوای پرولین و میزان پروتئین های محلول گیاهچه های عدس
Cadmium (Cd) is easily absorbed by the root system in many plant species and due to its solubility in water and toxicity is considered as a major pollutant. The aim of this study was investigation of cadmium toxicity on some physiological characteristics of lentil seedlings. So, two-week-old plantlets were treated with different concentrations (0 as control, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2.5 and 5 μM...
متن کاملDrought-induced chilling tolerance in cucumber involves membrane stabilisation improved by antioxidant system
We assessed changes in ultrastructure, membrane lipid peroxidation and antioxidant systems for cucumbner seedlings subjected to low temperature stress (day/night temperature of 8 oC /5 oC) that had been either pre-treated with 10% PEG for 2 days or not. We found extensive cell structure damage in the non-treated seedlings, whereas the seedlings pretreated with PEG to simulate drought remain...
متن کاملEffect of gamma irradiation or potassium on oxidative stress and antioxidant system of cadmium stressed Brassica rapa (L.) plant. Shaimaa Abd El-Hameed Abo Hamad, Mahmoud Abu Elyazeed Abd Elhaak and Khalil Mahfouz Ghareeb Saad-Allah*
The effect of cadmium chloride concentrations (25.50, 75, and 100 mg/kg soil), seeds pre-irradiated by low doses of gamma rays (15, 30, 45, and 60 Gy), potassium chloride (60 mg/kg soil) and the combination of cadmium + gamma and cadmium + potassium on Brassica rapa germination, oxidative stress and antioxidant system were investigated under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Germination per...
متن کاملKinetin ameliorates cadmium induced toxicity on growth, pigments and photosynthesis by regulating antioxidant potential in tomato seedlings
The effect of cadmium (Cd) on growth, photosynthesis, biochemical attributes and antioxidant enzymes activities in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedlings was studied and the role of kinetin (KN) to ameliorate Cd toxicity was examined. Tomato seedlings were subjected to two doses of Cd viz. 3 and 9 mg Cd kgP P sand. Cadmium at both the doses significantly declined the growth and photosynthes...
