Chromium (VI)-Induced Alterations in Physio-Chemical Parameters, Yield, and Yield Characteristics in Two Cultivars of Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)

Abstract: Chromium (Cr) presently used in various major industries and its residues possess a potent environmental threat. Contamination of soil and water resources due to Cr ions and its toxicity has adversely affected plant growth and crop productivity. Here, deleterious effects of different levels of Cr (VI) treatments i.e., 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 μM on two mungbean cultivars, Pusa Vishal (PV) and Pusa Ratna (PR), in hydroponic and pot conditions were evaluated. Germination, seedling growth, biomass production, antio… Show more

“…Both chickpea cultivars displayed a marked reduction in chl- a , chl- b , and total chl levels under Cr stress; however, this reduction was higher in the sensitive cultivar. Similar results have been reported in different crop species, including mungbean 5 , rapeseed 1 , and cauliflower 4 . GB application increases internodal elongation of shoots by increasing cell expansion and division, which may explain its effect on growth performance under Cr stress.…”

“…However, the damage due Cr stress was lower in tolerant genotypes than the sensitive one. Similar results have been observed in different crop plant species such as rapeseed 1 , wheat 40 , and mungbean 5 . Plants exposed to Cr exhibited high ROS production and membrane lipid peroxidation, along with increased damage to the structure and function of the cell membrane system.…”

“…More importantly, Cr(VI) after entering into plant system accumulates in edible plant parts and thus poses severe health hazards for the ultimate consumers (Cherfi et al, 2015). Toxicity of Cr in biological processes of the plants and associated alteration in physiological activities relies directly on the concentration of Cr uptake by plant roots, its translocation to aboveground plant parts, and the accumulation in fluorescent tissues (Singh et al, 2021).…”
