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.
- Mechanism Nano-Fe3O4 activated protective mechanisms that reduce heavy-metal-induced oxidative stress in wheat seedlings.
- 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.
