Comparative study on the influence of silicon and selenium to mitigate arsenic induced stress by modulating TCA cycle, GABA and polyamine synthesis in rice seedlings
Abstract:Arsenic contamination of groundwater is a major concern for its use as drinking water and crop irrigation in many regions of the world. Arsenic is absorbed by rice plants from arsenic contaminated water during irrigation, hampers growth and agricultural productivity. The aim of the study was to mitigate the activity of TCA cycle, synthesis of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and polyamines (PAs) in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. MTU-1010) seedlings under arsenate (As-V) stress [25 µM, 50 µM and 75 µM] by silicon (Si) [2 … Show more
