Ecotoxicological effects of paracetamol on seed germination and seedling development of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Notice of Retraction: Ecotoxicological Effects of Tonalide on Seed Germination and Seedling Development of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

“…The content of SP was determined under 595nm by the dye-binding method of Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 according to [13]. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) was mesured by the inhibition of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction at 560nm [12], taking the enzyme extract that inhibits 50% of the reduction as one unit.…”

Economic evaluation of the photo-Fenton process. Mineralization level and reaction time: The keys for increasing plant efficiency

“…Compounds that fulfill these conditions are considered to be potentially dangerous for the environment. Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) has been one of these revised compounds due to it being a commonly used analgesic and its high concentration in natural environments being a potential cause of environmental risk [2,3].…”

Effect of increasing concentration of paracetamol on performance of Vigna radiata: A concentration dependent study

“…Seed germination and seedling growth test is one of the simplest biomarkers to assess the essentiality or toxicity of organic and inorganic compounds acting on various crops including Vigna radiata. An et al (2009) believed that paracetamol under experimental concentrations had no toxic effect on the germination of seeds. This is because of availability of seed coat that constitutes barrier between embryo and its immediate stimuli generated from outside (Araújo and Monteiro 2005).…”

“…This is because of availability of seed coat that constitutes barrier between embryo and its immediate stimuli generated from outside (Araújo and Monteiro 2005). Paracetamol could be absorbed by the seed coat and increased the germination rate at particular concentrations (An et al 2009) as reported in the present study ( Table 1) Lower concentrations of xenobiotics can stimulate plants growth for a short period, as evidenced by the significant increase in the fresh weight of duckweed plants after 10 days of culture at a load of 10 g/l of paracetamol (Hajkova and Kummerova 2014). Similar response are shown in the present study.…”
