soil). Antioxidant enzymes (Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Peroxidase(POD), and Catalase(CAT)), osmolyte accumulation (proline, protein, total sugar, amino acid), lipid peroxidation (in terms of melanodialdehyde(MDA)) and growth parameters (plant height, and total dry matter content) and Cd uptake in rice cultivars exposed to different Cd levels were examined. The results showed that, with increased levels of soil Cd toxicity, activities of SOD and MDA contents increased, while activities of POD a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
