Exogenous AMF with Glycine Betaine Reduces Cr (VI) Uptake and Alleviates Chromium Toxicity by Supressing the Oxidative Stress in Three Genetically Different Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) Cultivars
Abstract:Background: Chromium is most toxic pollutant that negatively affects plant’s metabolic activities and yield. It reduces plant growth by influencing the antioxidant defense system’s activities. The aim of the present research was to examine the ameliorative capability of exogenous GB and AMF spiked in soil, either individually or in combination against Cr toxicity. The ameliorative effects were studied in terms of Cr uptake, grain yield, antioxidative defense system parameters (viz. enzymes – SOD, APX, CAT, GR,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
