Antioxidant Responses In Mesopodopsis Zeylanica At Varying Salinity To Detect Mercury Influence In Culture Ponds, Xivanand Narayan Verlecar, Priya Brata Das, Karmabeer Jena, Dusmant Maharana, Somshekher Raghoba Desai
Turkish Journal of Biology
Antioxidant responses in the estuarine mysid, Mesopodopsis zeylanica, were used to assess mercury (Hg) metal contamination in relation to salinity. Natural mysids acclimatized at 5 psu were subjected to laboratory exposures of 5, 15, and 25 psu salinity singly and under the sublethal Hg concentration of 5 µg/L (one-fifth of 24 h LC_{50} value). Lipid peroxidation in the test species increased with salinity variation from 5 to 15 psu and retained the same up to 25 psu with no change after Hg addition. CAT increased significantly from 5 to 15 psu before Hg influence, and GST increased after addition of …
Effect Of Exogenous Application Of Ascorbic Acid On Antioxidant Enzyme Activities, Proline Contents, And Growth Parameters Of Saccharum Spp. Hybrid Cv. Hsf-240 Under Salt Stress, Batool Ejaz, Zahoor Ahmad Sajid, Faheem Aftab
Effect Of Exogenous Application Of Ascorbic Acid On Antioxidant Enzyme Activities, Proline Contents, And Growth Parameters Of Saccharum Spp. Hybrid Cv. Hsf-240 Under Salt Stress, Batool Ejaz, Zahoor Ahmad Sajid, Faheem Aftab
Turkish Journal of Biology
The present study was undertaken to examine the effects of exogenous application of ascorbic acid (AA) through different modes on growth and associated biochemical parameters in Saccharum spp. hybrid cv. HSF-240, under salt stress. In a pot experiment, AA was applied through irrigation or foliar-spray at the concentrations of 0.1, 0.5, and 1 mM with or without 100 mM NaCl concentration. Vegetative growth measurements, antioxidant enzyme activities (POD and SOD), and protein and proline contents of plants were recorded to study the effects of these treatments. The presence of salt reduced the growth of sugarcane plants. The AA application not …
