Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation The 50% root growth inhibition concentration of pendimethalin in Allium cepa roots was 12 mg/L.
- Intervention effect Pendimethalin reduced rooting percentage and root length of Allium cepa relative to tap water controls.
- Intervention effect Pendimethalin reduced growth rate and weight gain of Allium cepa relative to tap water controls.
- Intervention effect Pendimethalin exposure elevated malondialdehyde level in Allium cepa roots.
- Intervention effect Pendimethalin exposure up-regulated superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in Allium cepa roots.
- Intervention effect Pendimethalin exposure down-regulated glutathione reductase in Allium cepa roots.
- Intervention effect Curcumin supplied with pendimethalin reduced pendimethalin toxicity in a dose-dependent way.
- Intervention effect 10 mg/L curcumin gave the maximum recovery of cytological, physiological and oxidative stress parameters.
- Association Curcumin was positively related to rooting percentage, root length and weight gain of Allium cepa.
- Association Curcumin was positively related to mitotic activity and glutathione reductase level in Allium cepa.
- Association Curcumin was inversely related to chromosomal abnormalities and DNA damage in Allium cepa.
- Association Curcumin was inversely related to superoxide dismutase and catalase activities and lipid peroxidation in Allium cepa.
