Abiotic stresses like heavy metals, drought, salt, low temperature, etc. are the major factors that limit crop productivity and yield. These stresses are associated with production of certain… (More)
To investigate the effects of copper (Cu), rice plant (Oryza sativa. L. var. MSE-9) was treated with different Cu concentrations (0, 10, 50 and 100 μM) for 5 days in hydroponic condition. Gradual… (More)
Cadmium (Cd) is a potential environmental phytotoxicant. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to Cd stress is responsible for the induction of oxidative stress in plants. On the other… (More)
Arsenic (As) contamination is a serious hazard to human health and agriculture. It has emerged as an important threat for rice cultivation mainly in South Asian countries. In this study, we… (More)
Tonoplast intrinsic proteins (TIPs) play a vital role in water transport across membranes. In the present study, we performed a comparative analysis of TIP genes in ten plant species including both… (More)
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings were treated with different concentrations of copper (Cu) either in presence or absence of zinc (Zn), and different events were investigated to evaluate the… (More)
Soil salinity is one of the primary causes of yield decline in rice. Pokkali (Pok) is a highly salt-tolerant landrace, whereas IR29 is a salt-sensitive but widely cultivated genotype. Comparative… (More)
