“…The effect of Pb mainly depends on concentration, soil type, soil properties and plant species [6]. Heavy metal induced phytotoxicity or plant tolerant responses to heavy metal stress is a complex phenomenon, involving developmental changes as well as physiological and biochemical mechanisms [5] [7] [8].…”

Lead (Pb) is an important environmental pollutant extremely toxic to plants and other living organisms including humans. To assess Pb phytotoxicity, a pot culture experiment was carried out using two groundnut cultivars (Arachis hypogaea L. cultivar K6 and cultivar K9) on plant growth, ROS levels, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant metabolism using biochemical, histochemical methods. Plants were grown in pots for 14 days, in the botanic garden, and subjected to Pb-stress (0, 100, 200, 400 and 800 ppm) by adding Pb (NO3)2 solution and further allowed to grow for 10 days. The results showed that cultivar K6 registered lower Pb accumulation than cultivar K9, however, localization of Pb was greater in roots than leaves in both groundnut cultivars. The Pb-stress results in an increase in free radicals (O2• − and H2O2) generation in both groundnut cultivars, but more significantly in cultivar K9 than K6. Pb-stress also caused significant changes in the rate of peroxidation as shown in the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) content in roots and leaves of both groundnut cultivars. Free proline, ascorbic acid (AsA) and non-protein thiol (NP-SH) contents were increased in cultivar K6 due to Pb-stress, but less in cultivar K9. Pb treated plants showed increased levels of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione Stransferase (GST). Isozyme band intensities of SOD, GPX and APX were more consistent with the respective changes in antioxidative enzyme activities. These results indicate that cultivar K6 possesses greater tolerance potential for Pb toxicity than cultivar K9.

“…However, studies on soil salinity-Zn interaction in paddy fields are rather scarce for the calcareous soils [7] [8]. Jagetiya et al (2013) [9] studied the effect of Ni on water potential, one µM of Ni treatment increased chlorophyll, turgor potential and decreased osmotic potential of plant cells, so plant growth increased, while at higher concentrations of Ni (10,100 and 1000 µM) osmotic potential increased inside plant cells, and turgor potential and growth were significantly decreased. [10] [11] illustrated that foliar application of Ni has higher efficiencies and is preferred over soil application in view of its very low requirement [12].…”

“…During growth, plants are simultaneously exposed to a number of stresses such as excessive salinity and heavy metals (Jagetiya et al, 2013). erefore, experiments were conducted to study the influence of salt-induced osmotic stress and the interactive effects of different concentrations of selected micronutrients (Zn or Ni) on wheat plants.…”

The present experiments were performed to determine the effects of Zn (20 µM and 200 µM) and Ni (1 µM and 100 µM) on the growth and metabolic activities in the roots, shoots, and spikes of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Gimiza 11 grown under different salinity conditions. In addition to identifying the osmotic tolerance of wheat, the roles of Zn and Ni in alleviating osmotic stress were examined. The root was the organ most sensitive to osmotic stress, whereas the shoot was the most resistant, and the spike was the intermediate. These three organs negatively responded to increasing osmotic stress levels, as fresh and dry matter decreased, and related biochemical parameters were adversely affected. However, fresh and dry matter were generally elevated when plants were supplemented with Zn or Ni under increasing osmotic stress. The sensitivity of roots was associated with depletion in the concentrations of sugars and free proline, whereas soluble protein and amino acid levels were increased. The stress tolerance of shoots and spikes was accompanied by an increase in soluble sugars, soluble proteins, and proline, while amino acid levels increased in spikes only. The Na + and K + content in wheat plants increased with increasing NaCl-induced osmotic stress levels. In turn, the accumulation and partitioning of Na + and K + did not vary among the three organs, both at different salt concentrations and between Zn or Ni treatments. Moreover, the present results show that the concentrations of anthocyanins, flavonoids, and l -ascorbic acid increased under exposure to osmotic stress and did not change significantly under Zn or Ni treatments.
