Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Combined metal treatments reduced wheat shoot and root length, leaf area and root number.
- Intervention effect Combined metal treatments increased oxidative damage markers and relative conductivity in leaves.
- Intervention effect Combined metals reduced net photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll, fluorescence, stomatal conductance and stomatal dimensions.
- Intervention effect Combined metals increased proline and other osmotic regulators in wheat roots.
- Intervention effect Combined metals upregulated P5CS, glutamate kinase, P5CR and OAT activities.
- Intervention effect Combined metals upregulated TaP5CS, TaP5CR and TaOAT expression.
- Intervention effect Combined metals downregulated ProDH activity and TaProDH expression.
- Mechanism The authors attribute root proline accumulation to glutamate and ornithine synthesis and reduced degradation.
