Journal Article
NaCl pretreatment alleviates salt stress by enhancement of antioxidant defense system and osmolyte accumulation in mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek).
TL;DR: Mungbean plants can acclimate to lethal level of salinity by pretreatment with sublethal level of NaCl, improving their health and production under saline condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of growth and metabolism in rice (Oryza sativa L.) by arsenic and its possible reversal by phosphate
TL;DR: The effect of arsenate with or without phosphate on the growth and metabolism in rice seedlings cv. MTU1010 was studied in this article, where arsenic was more toxic for root growth, than for shoot growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of sugar metabolism in rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings under arsenate toxicity and its improvement by phosphate
TL;DR: The combined application of arsenate with phosphate exhibited significant alterations of all the parameters tested under the purview of arsenates treatment alone which was congenial to better growth and efficient sugar metabolism in rice seedlings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactive influence of arsenate and selenate on growth and nitrogen metabolism in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of arsenate and selenate on plant growth and nitrogen metabolism was studied in wheat seedlings, and the results showed that arsenate toxicity severely affected activities of different antioxidant scavenging enzymes and oxidative stress markers in the test seedlings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exogenous silicon alters organic acid production and enzymatic activity of TCA cycle in two NaCl stressed indica rice cultivars.
TL;DR: Joint application of exogenous silicon along with NaCl altered the organic acids levels and activities of enzymes in both cultivars of rice seedlings conferring tolerance against salt induced stress and cv.
