Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Chromium stress increased reactive oxygen species and caused photosynthetic damage in wheat.
- Intervention effect Nitric oxide increased carbohydrate metabolism under chromium stress.
- Intervention effect Nitric oxide increased photosynthetic parameters under chromium stress.
- Intervention effect Nitric oxide increased the antioxidant system under chromium stress.
- Intervention effect Nitric oxide increased transcription of Calvin cycle enzyme genes under chromium stress.
- Intervention effect The nitric oxide effects were more prominent with sulfur supplementation.
- Intervention effect Sulfur further enhanced the nitric oxide associated increase in reduced glutathione.
- Intervention effect Sulfur with nitric oxide gave higher protection against chromium stress.
- Intervention effect Buthionine sulfoximine reversed the protection of photosynthesis by nitric oxide and sulfur under chromium stress.
- Mechanism The authors attribute nitric oxide and sulfur protection to sulfur assimilation and glutathione production.
