Chromium (Cr) is among the most widespread toxic trace elements found in agricultural soils due to various anthropogenic activities. However, role of micronutrient-amino chelates on reducing Cr toxicity crop plants was recently introduced. In current experiment, exogenous application micronutrients [iron (Fe)] chelated with amino acid [lysine (lys)] examined, using an vivo approach that involved plant growth and biomass, photosynthetic pigments gaseous exchange parameters, oxidative stress...
Contamination of soil and water with metals metalloids is one the most serious problems worldwide due to a lack healthy diet food scarcity. Moreover, cultivation oilseed crops such as rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) tannery wastewater could contain large amount toxic heavy [e.g., chromium (Cr)], which ultimately reduce its yield directly influence quality. To overcome Cr toxicity in B. napus, pot experiment was conducted enhance plant growth biomass by using newly introduced role...
Environmental contamination of chromium (Cr) has gained substantial consideration worldwide because its high levels in the water and soil. A pot experiment using oil seed crop (rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)) grown under different tannery wastewater (0, 33, 66 100%) soil foliar application zinc (Zn) iron (Fe)-lysine (lys) been conducted. Results revealed that a considerable decline plant growth biomass elevates with addition concentrations wastewater. Maximum height, number leaves, root...
In the present study, effectiveness of water hyacinth and lettuce was tested for phytoremediation landfill leachate period 15 days. Fifteen plastic containers were used in experimental setup where aquatic plants fitted as a floating bed with help thermo-pole sheet. It observed that both significantly (p < 0.05/p 0.01/p 0.001) reduce physicochemical parameters pH, TDS, BOD, COD heavy metals like Zn, Pb, Fe, Cu Ni from leachate. Maximum reduction these obtained at 50% 75% treatment their...
Phytoextraction of zinc, copper, lead, iron, and nickel from landfill leachate by duckweed ( L. minor ) was investigated every 3 days over a period 2 weeks. Bioconcentration factor removal efficiency were also calculated. Results this study proved that significantly reduced the concentration heavy metals in leachate. Removal , for all metals, more than 70% with maximum value copper (91%). Reduction chemical oxygen demand (COD) biological (BOD) observed 39% 47%, respectively. However, other...
ABSTRACT In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae , MID1 ( m ating- i nduced d eath) gene encodes a stretch-activated channel which is required for successful mating; mutant phenotype rescued by elevated extracellular calcium. Homologs of are found in fungi that morphologically complex compared to yeast, both Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes . We explored mid - 1 knockout filamentous ascomycete Neurospora crassa The exhibits lower growth vigor than wild type (which not replete calcium) mates...
Ultraviolet-B (UV-B: 280 to 320 nm) radiations have appeared be detrimental plants, due their damaging effects on proteins, lipids, membranes and DNA. UV-B are a significant regulator of plants‘ secondary metabolites. High intensity ultraviolet may interfere with growth productivity crops. But low levels give rise changes in the metabolites such as phenolic compounds, carotenoids glucoseinolates. Therefore, used generate enriched metabolites, having improved reproductive ability, early...
Heavy metals are one of the factors that pollute environment and significantly affect soil fertility, plant physiology, development, productivity. The tolerance plants to toxicity depends on species tissue, element type, duration exposure stress. Some special signal molecules such as nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), beneficial ions, hyperaccumulating plants, stress hormones, nanoparticles, organic compounds, microbial applications can be recommended alleviate effects caused by...
