Journal ArticleDOI
Salt tolerance in aquatic macrophytes: possible involvement of the antioxidative enzymes.
N.P. Rout,Birendra Prasad Shaw +1 more
TL;DR: The ion interaction study revealed significant modifying effect of Ca(2+), and also of Mg(2+) and K(+), on the changes induced by Na(+) in the activity of catalase and SOD suggesting that relative build-up of these ions inside cells could be of much importance in regulation of synthesis of antioxidative enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of mercury and cadmium on the activities of antioxidative enzymes in the seedlings of Phaseolus aureus
TL;DR: It was concluded that the two metals had little primary damaging effect on membranes and both root and leaf tissues of the plant treated at the germination stage showed enhanced lipid peroxidation and activities of the antioxidative enzymes.
Book ChapterDOI
Heavy Metal Induced Oxidative Damage in Terrestrial Plants
TL;DR: There are 110 elements in the periodic table with the elements from 104 to 110 being of somewhat recent discovery (www.sdfine.com). Of these chemical elements, metals make up the largest group; some 69 of the currently known elements, excluding the transuranium series, are metallic in character as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation, identification and expression analysis of salt-induced genes in Suaeda maritima, a natural halophyte, using PCR-based suppression subtractive hybridization.
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of ESTs from SSH cDNA libraries generated systematically for a few halophytes with varying salt exposure time may clearly identify the key salt tolerance determinant genes to a minimum number, highly desirable for any genetic manipulation adventure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salt Tolerance in Aquatic Macrophytes: Ionic Relation and Interaction
N.P. Rout,Birendra Prasad Shaw +1 more
TL;DR: The maintenance of a minimal level of K+ was observed to be the most probable requirement of salt tolerance in aquatic macrophytes, which differed in their tolerance to salinity.
