| Abstract | To evaluate the ameliorating effects of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, 200 μM) on hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] toxicity in canola (Brassica napus L.), we focused on the plant growth, chlorophyll content, thiol contents, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes, and the expression of metallothionein protein (BnMP1) mRNA. Cr(VI) at 50 μM significantly decreased the plant growth (fresh and dry weights). The decrease in growth was accompanied by increased lipid peroxidation and decreased chlorophyll content in leaves. Hydrogen peroxide pretreatment, however, enhanced plant growth parameters and led to the reduced levels of lipid peroxidation and higher levels of pigment. In addition, H2O2 pretreatment increased Cr accumulation in aerial parts of seedlings. The tendency of increase in thiol content under Cr(VI) stress was further increased with H2O2 pretreatment. The activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), guaiacol peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) were differentially altered. SOD and POD activities increased under Cr(VI) stress, whereas APX and CAT activities decreased. The SOD and CAT activities remained unaffected in both durations due to H2O2 pretreatment, but activities of APX and POD were promoted in the Cr(VI)-stressed seedlings. Metallothioneins are a family of low-molecular-weight Cys-rich proteins and are thought to play a possible role in metal metabolism or detoxification. In real-time quantitative PCR analysis, the expression level of BnMP1 mRNA was increased at 1 day after treatment (DAT), whereas it was decreased at 7 DAT in Cr(VI)-stressed seedlings. At 1 DAT, pretreatment of H2O2 before Cr(VI) stress reduced the expression of BnMP1 mRNA as compared to Cr(VI) stress alone, but this effect was not significant. At 7 DAT, H2O2 pretreatment alleviated the Cr(VI) stress-mediated decrease in the expression of BnMP1 mRNA. These results suggest that H2O2 may act as a signal that triggers defense mechanisms which in turn protects canola seedlings from Cr(VI)-induced oxidative damage. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
