Abstract

Seed developmental is essential stage in the plant life cycle that is highly protective against external stresses. Treatment of Phaseolus aureus Roxb with different concentration of cadmium and arsenic decreased the percentage of germination, germination index and vigour index. This effect was dose dependent and exhibits more inhibitory effects at higher dose of heavy metal. The supplementation of zinc (25 ppm) reduced the inhibitory effect of cadmium and arsenic by increasing the germination index and vigour index at low metal concentration (25 & 50 ppm). The phenolic content, catalase and FRAP activity reduced with increasing cadmium and arsenic concentrations compared to control seedling. Arsenic display relatively strong toxicity than cadmium. Reduced phenolic content, catalase and FRAP activity were increased significantly with the treatment of zinc at low heavy metal concentration (25 & 50 ppm). Enhancement in free proline and metal chelating activity as a response to heavy metal stress is reported. The amelioration of seedling growth by zinc supplementation under metal toxicity (at 25 and 50 ppm) was associated with further enhanced level of free proline and improved metal chelating activity. It was found that Zn was able to partially restore the seedling growth and reduced oxidative stress during seed development at low heavy metal concentration (25 & 50 ppm), whereas at higher concentration of heavy metal, zinc could not able to restored growth and biochemical parameters. In this study, we analyzed the growth promoting and antioxidative effect of zinc on arsenic and cadmium induced inhibitory effect in presence of low level of heavy metal.
