Plants experience oxidative stress upon exposure to heavy metals that leads cellular damage. In addition, plants accumulate metal ions disturb ionic homeostasis. To minimize the detrimental effects of and their accumulation, have evolved detoxification mechanisms. Such mechanisms are mainly based on chelation subcellular compartmentalization. Chelation is a ubiquitous strategy described in wide variety plants. A principal class chelator known phytochelatins (PCs), family Cys-rich peptides....
Abstract Nanobiotechnology deals with the synthesis of nanostructures using living organisms. Among use organisms for nanoparticle synthesis, plants have found application particularly in metal synthesis. Use nanoparticles could be advantageous over other environmentally benign biological processes as this eliminates elaborate process maintaining cell cultures. Biosynthetic would more useful if were produced extracellularly or their extracts and a controlled manner according to size,...
Abstract We reported earlier that engineering of the glyoxalase pathway (a two-step reaction mediated through I and II enzymes) enhances salinity tolerance. Here we report extended suitability this strategy for improved heavy-metal tolerance in transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). The transgenics were able to grow, flower, set normal viable seeds presence 5 mm ZnCl2 without any yield penalty. endogenous ion content measurements revealed roots be major sink excess zinc accumulation, with...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Plant mediated synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has been studied and reported, however, to date, the biomolecules involved in have not characterized. This study was therefore undertaken characterize Syzygium cumini silver nanoparticles. RESULTS: Synthesis kinetics morphological characterization (SNP) synthesized using leaf extract (LE) seed (SE) as well their polar (water) fractions from were compared. The polyphenols content high performance liquid chromatography...
The mechanism behind enhanced salt tolerance conferred by the overexpression of glyoxalase pathway enzymes was studied in transgenic vis‐à‐vis wild‐type (WT) plants. We have recently documented that salinity stress induces higher level accumulation methylglyoxal (MG), a potent cytotoxin and primary substrate for pathway, various plant species [Yadav, S.K., Singla‐Pareek, S.L., Ray, M., Reddy, M.K. Sopory, S.K. (2005) MG levels plants under are dependent on I glutathione. Biochem. Biophys....
Abstract Glutathione, a tripeptide with sulfhydryl (‐SH) group is very crucial compound primarily involved in redox balance maintenance of the cellular environment. In this study, we monitored influence Cd exposure on transcript levels glutathione metabolic genes bud tissues, youngest leaf, Camellia sinensis L. addition, some physiochemical parameters were also studied. decreased chlorophyll and protein contents, while increase was observed lipid peroxidation upon treatments. These changes...
