Copper is one of the heavy metal in plant that causes toxicity at high concentration via producing reactive oxygen species. Nitric oxide can protect cells from oxidative stress produce by reactive oxygen species. Effect of different concentrations of copper (1000, 1500 and 2000 μM) and interaction with nitric oxide (100 and 150 μM) were studied on growth parameters (shoot and root length) and s...

Based on the concept that activated oxygen species are causally involved in Adriamycin toxicity, endogenous antioxidant defenses are expected to be important determinants of cellular Adriamycin tolerance. We have tested this prediction by making use of an oxygen-resistant variant subline of Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHOr), which is characterized by increased levels of glutathione, copper- an...

Phytoremediation is a relatively new method in agricultural science for removing soil contaminants to some extent through cultivating some plants with the least cost. This research was conducted to examine the role of nickel as a heavy metal in catalase and peroxidase activities and also to study uptake and transfer ability of nickel in the organs of Persian clover. Experiment was done as rando...

this research investigate the potential of rhizobium leguminosarum b.v .phaseoli to improve growth and nutritional status of common bean (akhtar cultivar) at three levels of salinity of s0, s1 and s2 (0, 35 and 70 mm sodium chloride, or 0, 3 and 6 ds/m, respectively). the greenhouse experiment was conducted as a factorial design in randomized completely with three replications by using the ster...

understanding of physiological responses of salt tolerance might be lead to identify main salt tolerance mechanisms and essential approaches for improving grain yield stability, and also to select salt tolerant wheat cultivars. thus, the effects of salinity were investigated on grain yield and some of the characteristics related to salt tolerance. six wheat cultivars (roshan, kavir, karchia, ga...
