Organic acids play an important role in metal uptake and trafficking in plants. Therefore, the role of exogenous citrate and malate on Cd tolerance was studied in the seedlings of Oryza sativa L. cv MTU 7029. Seedlings were exposed to Cd plus organic acids in hydroponics and monitored changes in Cd
The formation of a barrier to radial oxygen (O2 ) loss (ROL) in the root is an important adaptation of plants to root flooding, but the biochemical changes in plant roots where the barrier is formed are unclear. In this study, we analysed metabolic profiles and gene expression profiles in roots of
To avoid disproportionate usage of chemicals in agriculture, an alternative eco-friendly strategy is required to improve soil fertility, and enhance crop productivity. Therefore, the present study demonstrates the role of plant beneficial rhizobacteria viz., Paenibacillus lentimorbus B-30488
A hydroponic experiment with two different cadmium (Cd) accumulating rice lines of Lu527-8 (the high Cd accumulating rice line) and Lu527-4 (the normal rice line) was carried out to explore the links among Cd stress, root exudates and Cd accumulation. The results showed that (1) Cd stress increased
We have analyzed the dynamics of the rice etioplast membrane proteome during the early phase of de-etiolation using iTRAQ-based relative protein quantification. Several hundred plastid proteins were identified from enriched membranes, including 36 putative transporters. Hierarchical clustering
A 30 days indoor hydroponic experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of microcystins (MCs) on rice root morphology and exudation, as well as bioaccumulation of MCs in rice. MCs were bioaccumulated in rice with the greatest concentrations being observed in the leaves (113.68μgg-1 Fresh
Solution culture was carried to investigate capacity of synthetic aminopolycarboxylic acids (ethylenediamine tetraacetate, N-hydroxyethylenediaminetriacetic acid, and diethylenetriamine-pentaacetate) for enhancing botanical removal and transport of heavy metals (Cu and Zn) by plants. Biodegradable
Azospirillum sp. B510, a free-living nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolated from the stems of rice (Oryza sativa cv. Nipponbare), was investigated to establish effective conditions for the colonization of rice plants. We analyzed the effects of the nitrogen sources KNO3, NH4Cl, urea (CO[NH2]2), and
