Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Cd and Mo stress accumulated total soluble proteins in the endosperm.
- Intervention effect Cd and Mo stress reduced free amino acids in the endosperm.
- Intervention effect Cd and Mo stress reduced soluble proteins in seedling roots.
- Intervention effect Heavy metal treatment reduced endosperm soluble sugars.
- Intervention effect Heavy metals decreased activity of four hydrolytic enzymes.
- Intervention effect Heavy metals inhibited starch degradation.
- Intervention effect GA3 significantly alleviated heavy metal inhibition of four hydrolytic enzymes.
- Intervention effect GA3 increased endosperm sugar content under heavy metal stress.
- Intervention effect GA3 partially restored mobilization of protein and starch reserves.
- Mechanism The authors infer that Cd and Mo toxicity suppresses GA3 production or inhibits its activity in aleurone tissue.
