Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Heavy metal toxicity reduced plant growth of castor relative to control.
- Intervention effect Heavy metal toxicity reduced castor biomass relative to control.
- Intervention effect Castor significantly enhanced Cd contents in root, stem and leaves.
- Intervention effect Under 50 mg kg-1 Cd stress, POD activity of castor was significantly increased to 215.30 µmol/g-1 relative to control.
- Intervention effect Under 50 mg kg-1 Cd stress, SOD activity of castor was significantly increased to 53.20 U/g relative to control.
- Intervention effect Under 25 and 50 mg kg-1 Cd stress, MAD in castor decreased to 3.11% relative to control.
- Intervention effect Under 25 and 50 mg kg-1 Cd stress, proline content of castor decreased to 2.23 to 1.75 µg-1 relative to control.
- Association Root, shoot, proline and malondialdehyde of castor were strongly positively correlated.
- Association POD and SOD enzyme activities were destructively related to the growth variables of castor.
- Recommendation Castor can grow in highly polluted soils and is recommended for phytoremediation.
- Intervention effect Cd stress in the soil caused castor to build up antioxidants in the ground parts.
