Chromium stress induced oxidative burst in Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper: physio-molecular and antioxidative enzymes regulation in cellular homeostasis

Physiology and Molecular Biology of Plants volume 27, pages 265–279 (2021)Cite this article

Abstract

Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper commonly known as blackgram is an important legume crop with good quality dietary proteins and vitamins. Low production of blackgram in the chromium rich soil of Odisha is a serious concern against its demand. Chromium (VI) was tested on V. mungo var. B3-8-8 at 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 µM concentration on growth, anti-oxidative enzymes and chromium content at 15, 30 and 45 d of treatments. Seed germination and growth decreased with increase dose and duration. Cr uptake induced oxidative burst with significant increase of osmolytes was observed in cell at lower doses but failed to adjust homeostasis at higher dose. Increase of GPX and SOD and decrease of CAT was observed as dose dependent. Increased protein content was detected in < 200 µM Cr concentration whereas, significant decrease of protein was noted thereafter. Down regulation of proteins (29.2 kDa and 32.6 kDa) was observed at > 250 µM of Cr. Total Cr uptake was greater in root than in shoot which might be due to poor translocation of heavy metal or detoxification. Thus, blackgram was able to maintain homeostasis at lower concentrations of Cr by activating the cascade of enzymes following cellular detoxification mechanism.
