The effect of brassinosteroids on radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seedlings growing under cadmium stress

Abstract: The effect of 24-epibrassinolide and 28-homobrassinolide on seed germination and seedling growth of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) was studied under cadmium toxicity. The impact of brassinosteroids (BRs) on free proline levels and the activity of antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT; EC 1.11.1.6), peroxidase (POD; EC 1.11.1.7), superoxide dismutase (SOD; EC 1.15.1.1), ascorbic peroxidase (APOX; EC 1.11.1.11) and guaiacol peroxidase (GPX; EC 1.11.1.7) in radish seedlings under Cd toxicity was evaluated. The effect o… Show more

“…The results from the present study show inhibitory effect of Pb on Raphanus sativus in seedling growth and shoot weight, exposed to ish (Anuradha and Rao, 2007), under Ni toxicity in wheat (Gajewska and Sktodowska, 2007), and under Al toxicity in cucumber (Perira et al, 2010). This suggests that the toxic effect of heavy metals is probably exerted through free radical generation.…”

“…Gopal and Rizvi (2008) were showed that excess Pb reduce the fresh and dry weight in leaves of radish at 30 day (0.5 mM). The decrease of growth were shown in radish stressed with Cd (Anuradha and Rao, 2007) and in cucumber stressed with Al for 10 days (Perira et al, 2010). The results from Wierzbicka (1994) indicated that lead ions cause water deficit by disturbing water balance, which is one of the main factors which causes a poorer growth and development of plants.…”

“…According to some authors, biologically active compounds based on a blend of synthetic auxins, humic and fulvic acids very favourably influenced germination and subsequent plant growth. Substantially similar efficacy was demonstrated in many experiments using synthetic analogues of some brassinosteroids, which, among other things, positively interact with auxin (Kohout 2001, Chen et al 2004, Anuradha and Rao 2007.…”
