Ethylene regulates the photosynthetic efficiency of plants grown under challenging environments by regulation antioxidant system and other biomolecules, such as osmolytes (proline). The role ethylene in modulating proline biosynthesis subsequent changes to protect wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. WH-711) against heat stress was studied. effects exogenously sourced (as 200 µL L−1 ethephon: 2-chlo...

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study the ameliorative effects of exogenous glycinebetaine (GB) upon cadmium (Cd) toxicity in cucumber seedlings. The results indicated that 50 μmol/L Cd stress decreased soil plant analysis development (SPAD) value, height, root length, seedling biomass, activities ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and ATPase leaves, stems roots; however, increased (POD) sup...

A Thlaspi caerulescens (J. & C. PRESL) was used to study the effect of cadmium on the content of free amino acids and ability accumulation of Cd in ecotypes of this plant species. In pot experiment two ecotypes T. caerulescens were used: Ganges ecotype from France and Mežica ecotype from Slovenia. The plants were grown in soil (chernozem – Suchdol) spiked with NPK and three different concentrat...

antimony is a toxic heavy metal for plants, animals and human being. considering its effects on plants growth, different concentrations on watermelon growth and development were studied. the experiment was established on a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with 3 replications. the seedlings were grown hydroponically in nutrient solution containing sb-edta (0, 0.25, 0....
