Journal ArticleDOI
Enrichment of cereal grains with zinc: Agronomic or genetic biofortification?
TL;DR: Plant breeding strategy (e.g., genetic biofortification) appears to be a most sustainable and cost-effective approach useful in improving Zn concentrations in grain, and application of Zn fertilizers or Zn-enriched NPK fertilizers offers a rapid solution to the problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of aluminium on lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase activities in root tips of soybean (Glycine max)
Ismail Cakmak,Walter J. Horst +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of AI on lipid peroxidation and activities of enzymes related to production of activated oxygen species was reported. But, the authors did not consider the root elongation and modification of membrane properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnesium Deficiency and High Light Intensity Enhance Activities of Superoxide Dismutase, Ascorbate Peroxidase, and Glutathione Reductase in Bean Leaves
Ismail Cakmak,Horst Marschner +1 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the role of both light intensity and Mg nutritional status on the regulation of O(2) (.-) and H( 2)O(3) scavenging enzymes in chloroplasts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of potassium in alleviating detrimental effects of abiotic stresses in plants
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that an increase in capacity of bean root cells to oxidize NADPH when exposed to K deficiency was up to 8-fold higher in plants with low K supply than in K-sufficient plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tansley Review No. 111: Possible roles of zinc in protecting plant cells from damage by reactive oxygen species.
TL;DR: Zinc plays critical roles in the defence system of cells against ROS, and thus represents an excellent protective agent against the oxidation of several vital cell components such as membrane lipids and proteins, chlorophyll, SH-containing enzymes and DNA.
