Glycinebetaine mediates chromium tolerance in mung bean through lowering of Cr uptake and improved antioxidant system

Abstract: A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of glycinebetaine (GB) in Cr tolerance in mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) grown in soil. Three concentrations of Cr (0, 250 and 500 µM) were tested with three (0, 50 and 100 mM) concentrations of foliar applied GB. Chromium alone led to a significant decrease in plant growth, biomass, contents of chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids concentrations. Chromium concentration and electrolyte leakage significantly increased in plants with increasing Cr levels in the soil.… Show more

“…An increase in the Cr level in the growth medium decreased photosynthetic pigments, E, gs, Pn and WUE in the leaves of cauliflower (Figs and ). A Cr‐induced decrease in photosynthesis has been reported previously in many studies (Ali et al , Jabeen et al , Mostofa et al ). Reduction in the gas exchange parameters may be because of the production of oxidative stress induced by Cr (Fig.…”

“…In the present investigation, decreased H 2 O 2 , MDA and PPO activity upon GB and AMF application indicated the ameliorative effect under Cr (VI) toxicity in sorghum. Similar observations have been made by Molla et al (2014) in lentil under Cd stress; Jabeen et al (2016) in mung bean under Cr toxicity; Bharwana et al (2014) in cotton under Pb stress and Ali et al (2015) in wheat under Cr toxicity. Kotb and Elhamahmy, (2014) also reported similar results in wheat plants under salinity stress.…”

“…In plants, chromium toxicity is associated with the increasable production of ROS and oxidative stress development as well as with inhibition of pigment synthesis and modification of virtually all cellular components (Farooq et al 2016;Jabeen et al 2016;Ahmad et al 2017;Uliana et al 2018;Yang-ErChena et al 2018). These metabolic changes result in seedling development, cell death, reduction of plant biomass and crop yield (Antoniadis et al 2017;Yang-ErChena et al 2018) reduction of soluble protein content (Singh et al 2012;Das et al 2014;Jabeen et al 2016) and membrane stability (Begum et al 2016). Plants subjected to chromium also showed reduced growth in this study.…”
