Melatonin: Awakening the Defense Mechanisms during Plant Oxidative Stress
Melatonin is a multifunctional signaling molecule that is ubiquitously distributed in different parts of a plant and responsible for stimulating several physio-chemical responses to adverse environmental conditions. In this review, we show that, although

Influence of salicylic acid on phytochelatin synthesis in Zea mays during Cd stress [PDF]
: Presoaking maize (Zea mays) seeds in salicylic acid (SA) reduces damage caused by cadmium. In the present work the possible role of phytochelatins (PCs) in SA-mediated protection against Cd toxicity was investigated. Seeds were presoaked in 0.5 mM SA,

H2O2 Signature and Innate Antioxidative Profile Make the Difference Between Sensitivity and Tolerance to Salt in Rice Cells [PDF]
Salt tolerance is a complex trait that varies between and within species. H2O2 profiles as well as antioxidative systems have been investigated in the cultured cells of rice obtained from Italian rice varieties with different salt tolerance.

Ascorbate-Glutathione Cycle Alteration in Cadmium Sensitive Rice Mutant cadB-1
A rice cadmium (Cd) sensitive mutant cadB-1 was obtained using Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated system. After exposure of cadB-1 and wild type (WT) rice seedlings to a range of Cd concentrations for 10 d, Cd accumulated to higher levels in roots, stems and leaves of both cadB-1 and WT with increasing external Cd concentrations, and the inhibition of ...
