hydroponic experiments were performed to exam the dynamic change of endogenous proline in rice seedlings exposed to potassium chromate chromium (vi) or chromium nitrate chromium (iii). although accumulation of both chromium species in rice seedlings was obvious, more chromium was detected in plant tissues of rice seedlings exposed to chromium (iii) than those in chromium (vi), majority being in...

the effects of lead on the proline content and dry weight of leaves and roots were investigated in two canola cultivars (brassica napus l.) grown in the hoagland solution. the growth of treated plants was inhibited under lead stress. lead induced differential accumulation of proline in canola grown in solution with the addition of 0, 100 and 200 mgl-1 of pb. hyola308 cultivar showed low biomass...

The effects of lead on the proline content and dry weight of leaves and roots were investigated in two canola cultivars (Brassica napus L.) grown in the Hoagland solution. The growth of treated plants was inhibited under lead stress. Lead induced differential accumulation of proline in canola grown in solution with the addition of 0, 100 and 200 mgL-1 of Pb. Hyola308 cultivar showed low biomass...

laser is one of the sources that induce a biological effect in higher plants. the positive effect of laser on some crops has been proved. this research was carried out to study the effect of laser radiation on the accumulation of proline in spring wheat (triticum aestivum cv. kavir) under different nacl treatment levels. semi-coherent red beam, infrared beam and one-second harmonics of neodymiu...

Hydroponic experiments were performed to exam the dynamic change of endogenous proline in rice seedlings exposed to potassium chromate chromium (VI) or chromium nitrate chromium (III). Although accumulation of both chromium species in rice seedlings was obvious, more chromium was detected in plant tissues of rice seedlings exposed to chromium (III) than those in chromium (VI), majority being in...

Toxic heavy metals viz. lead, mercury and cadmium induced differential accumulation of proline in lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus Stapf.) grown in soil amended with 50, 100, 200, 350 and 500 mg kg(-1) of the metals have been studied. Proline accumulation was found to be metal specific, organ specific and linear dose dependant. Further, proline accumulation following short term exposure (two mo...

Drought-induced proline accumulation observed in many plant species has led to the hypothesis that further increases in proline accumulation would promote drought tolerance. Here we discuss both previous and new data showing that proline metabolism and turnover, rather than just proline accumulation, functions to maintain growth during water limitation. Mutants of Δ (1)-Pyrroline-5-Carboxylate ...

Leaves from dark-grown barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var Larker) seedlings grown in the presence and absence of fluridone were used to determine whether or not abscisic acid (ABA) accumulation was necessary for proline to accumulate in wilted tissue. Wilted tissue (polyethylene glycol-treated) leaves from fluridone-grown seedlings did not accumulate ABA but did accumulate proline at a rate that wa...

under osmotic stresses, proline accumulation is an important response of plants to these conditions. proline is a compatible osmolyte which affects many cellular and molecular aspects of plant in both normal and stressful situations. proline is shown to be involved in plant development in normal condition and in conferring resistance to plant under biotic and abiotic stresses. therefore, many s...
