Characterization of Copper Texicity in Lettuce Seedlings
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of toxic concentrations of cupric sulphate on the growth of lettuce (Lectuca sativa) seedlings were investigated. And it was shown that root growth is completely inhibited at 5 x 10-2M and germination stops altogether at 10-1M.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth and metabolism of germinating rice (Oryza sativa L.) seeds as influenced by toxic concentrations of lead
S. Mukherji,P. Maitra +1 more
TL;DR: It was apparent that reduced growth was associated with increased enzyme activity, probably due to an enhanced protein synthesis, and the activity of catalase, peroxidase, IAA oxidase, and ascorbic acid oxidase incresed in response to lead addition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Phosphorus Fractions and Phytase Activity of Rice Seeds during Germination
TL;DR: The present experiment provides information on the phosphorus compounds in rice seeds and elucidates the changes they undergo during germination and suggests that there exist two phytases, one acidic and the other alkaline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Toxic Concentrations of Copper on Growth and Metabolism of Rice Seedlings
TL;DR: Metabolic alterations in germinating rice seeds as influenced by toxic concentrations of cupric sulphate were studied with respect to nucleic acids, proteins and hydrolytic enzymes, i.e. α-amylase, ribonuclease (RNase), adenosine triphosphatase, phytase and protease, resulting in reduced RNA/protein and DNA/protein ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzyme activities in germinating Mungbean (Phaseolus aureus) seeds and their relation with promoter and inhibitors of protein synthesis
TL;DR: Assay of the hydrolyzing enzyme levels, viz.α-amylase, adenosine triphosphatase, phytase and ribonuclease in the germinating Mungbean seeds is made, indicating net enzyme synthesis during germination.
