Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of cadmium on lipid peroxidation, superoxide anion generation and activities of antioxidant enzymes in growing rice seedlings
TL;DR: It is suggested that Cd induces oxidation stress in growing rice plants and that SOD and peroxidase could serve as important components of antioxidant defense mechanisms in rice to combat metal induced oxidative injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal hyperaccumulation and bioremediation
Kavita Shah,J. M. Nongkynrih +1 more
TL;DR: An assessment of the current status of technology development and its future prospects with emphasis on a combinatorial approach is concluded.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of cadmium on proline accumulation and ribonuclease activity in rice seedlings: role of proline as a possible enzyme protectant
Kavita Shah,Rama Shanker Dubey +1 more
TL;DR: When seedlings of two rice cultivars Ratna and Jaya were raised under 100 and 500 µM cadmium nitrate in the medium, a high proline content was noted in Cd2+ stressed seedlings compared to controls, suggesting the possible protective role of proline on RNase under osmotic stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat exposure alters the expression of SOD, POD, APX and CAT isozymes and mitigates low cadmium toxicity in seedlings of sensitive and tolerant rice cultivars.
Kavita Shah,Sareeta Nahakpam +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggest Cd(2+) specific, heat-specific, tissue specific and differential expression of SOD/POD/APX/CAT and that Mn-SOD 3/ APXR4/CatR2 seem to form important components of antioxidant defense in rice roots under combination of Cd (2+) + HS which helps to mitigate the effect of low Cd-2+) toxicity in tolerant rice cv.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salinity induced behavioural changes in malate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase activities in rice seedlings of differing salt tolerance.
TL;DR: Results suggest varying behaviour of MDH and GDH in two sets of rice cultivar differing in salt tolerance and that inhibition in the activities of dehydrogenases in salt sensitive rice cultivars due to salinity may be one of the possible reasons for decreased growth of rice plants under saline conditions.
