Phytotoxicity of Profenofos 50% Ec (curacron 50 Ec) to Vigna Radiata, L. Seedlings: Ii. Studies on Biochemical Parameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Profenofos 50% EC (curacron 50 EC) is a hazardous pesticide commonly used in agriculture is also an important contaminant of environment. Its presence in biological system has gained importance due to bioaccumulation in food chain. The phyto-toxic effect of profenofos was assessed based on the biochemical parameters (Shoot and Root) of seedlings (Amino acids, Protein, Sugar, DNA and RNA) of the test species, Vigna radiata,L. The concentrations of pesticide chosen were based on EC50 and are in the range of 0.02, 0.05, 0.08, 0.1 and 0.2 % of profenofos. The biochemical parameters like Amino acid, Sugar, DNA and RNA were significantly reduced with increase in pesticide concentration whereas Protein concentration increased with the profenophos treatment. The increase in amino acid was more pronounced in Shoot of the seedlings than root.

Does Aluminium Phytotoxicity Induce Oxidative Stress in Greengram (vigna Radiata)?
To verify whether aluminium phytotoxicity causes oxidative stress in developing greengram seedlings, the present investigation was carried out. An uniform decrease in root and shoot elongations was marked as the primary signs of aluminium injury. A significant increase in lipid peroxidation measured in terms of TBARS content was noticed which was also correlated with an increase in membrane inj...
متن کاملPhytotoxicity of methylene blue to rice seedlings
Methylene blue is widely used in various industrial branches. Due to insufficient treatment, its occurrence in wastewater is frequently detected, which may result in serious environment problems to aquatic organisms. Hydroponic experiments were conducted with rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L. cv. XZX 45) exposed to methylene blue to determine the effective concentration using relative gr...
متن کاملEmbryo is not required for initiation of alpha-amylase activity in germinating cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) seeds.
When embryonated and de-embryonated cotyledons of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) were kept for germination, only embryonated cotyledons (EC) developed into seedlings. alpha-Amylase activity appeared late in de-embryonated cotyledons (DEC), but increased and matched with that of EC on 4th day, and thereafter started declining. A higher content of reducing sugars may be one of the factors in down ...
متن کاملArsenic Induced Changes in Growth and Physiological Responses in Vigna radiata Seedling: Effect of Curcumin Interaction
Arsenic is a great hazard to the environment since it is a major source of soil and water contamination leading to phytotoxicity. Arsenic caused reduction in seed germination and growth of plants including mung bean (Vigna radiata) causing loss of crop productivity. This investigation evaluates effect of arsenic toxicity in mung bean with an attempt to ameliorate it by the application of curcum...
متن کاملDifferentially Regulated Isozymes of 3-Deoxy-d-arabino-Heptulosonate-7-Phosphate Synthase from Seedlings of Vigna radiata [L.] Wilczek.
Two isozymes of 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase (EC 4.1.2.15) designated DS-Mn and DS-Co were separated from seedlings of Vigna radiata [L.] Wilczek by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. DS-Mn was activated 2.6-fold by 0.4 millimolar manganese, had an activity optimum of 7.0, and was substrate inhibited by erythrose-4-phosphate (E4P) concentrations in excess of 0.5 milli...
