Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid that severely hampers plant growth and also poses health risks for humans through the food chain. Although nitric oxide (NO) is known to improve plant resistance to multiple stresses including metal toxicity, little is known about its role in the As tolerance of

A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method with pre-column derivatization for the determination of amino acids, which were known as the characteristic constituents of Isatis indigotica Fort was established. The amino acids in alkalescence were derivatized with 2,

To determine the response of antioxidant defense system to laser radiation apical meristem of Isatis indigotica seedlings, Isatis indigotica seedlings were subjected to UV-B radiation (10.08 kJ m(-2)) for 8 h day(-1) for 8 days (PAR, 220 micromol m(-2) s(-1)) and then exposed to He-Ne laser

The experiment included three potassium levels (K0 0 g x kg(-1), K1 0.33 g x kg(-1), K2 0.67 g x kg(-1)) and two water gradients (well watered and drought stress), then measured growth indicators, SOD, POD, CAT activities and concents of osmotic regulation substances. To explore the effects of K
