Effect of chromium on accumulation and antioxidants inCucumis utillissimus L.: Response under enhancedbioavailability condition

This study compares the accumulation of Cr(VI) and biochemical changes (total chlorophyll,carotenoid,protein,malondialdehyde (MDA) and cysteine contents) and roles of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD),guaiacol peroxidase (GPX),ascorbate peroxidase (APX)) in tolerance to metal induced stress in Cucumis utillissimus L.grown in Cr contaminated soil (CS) with garden soil (GS).Furthermore,Cr bioavailability was enhanced by ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) addition to the soil to forecast t...
