Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Heavy metals significantly decreased root length and shoot length of wheat seedlings.
- Observation Cd and Cu at 10 mM caused death of wheat seedlings.
- Association Heavy metal exposure decreased the activities of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase in wheat seedlings.
- Association Heavy metal exposure increased MDA content in wheat seedlings.
- Intervention effect Nano-Fe3O4 at 2000 mg/L significantly decreased the growth inhibition caused by heavy metals at 1 mM.
- Mechanism The reducing effects of nano-Fe3O4 against heavy metal stress may depend on increased SOD and POD activity in wheat.
- Observation A decrease in MDA content was observed with nano-Fe3O4 treatment in wheat seedlings.
- Mechanism The alleviating effect of nano-Fe3O4 is associated with the adsorption capacity of heavy metals.
