Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Cadmium accumulated in maize leaves.
- Intervention effect Cadmium increased leaf malondialdehyde content, especially after seven days.
- Intervention effect Leaf glutathione reductase activity increased from day four under cadmium stress.
- Intervention effect Leaf guaiacol peroxidase activity increased after seven days of cadmium stress relative to controls.
- Association The cadmium effects correlated with cadmium concentration.
- Intervention effect Cadmium did not affect root MDA content or antioxidant enzyme activities under these conditions.
- Intervention effect After seven days, cadmium increased free and bound benzoic acid, O-coumaric acid and salicylic acid in leaves.
- Intervention effect In roots, only 50 µ M cadmium changed free O-HCA acid and bound BA content.
