Cadmium induced changes in total starch, total amylose and amylopectin content in putrescine and mycorrhiza treated sorghum crop

Abstract

The current investigation was carried out to evaluate the ameliorative effect of polyamines and mycorrhiza in the induced toxic effect of cadmium at 30, 60 and 90 DAS old of sorghum variety CSV15. The significant hazardous effects and oxidative damage of cadmium nitrate (70 ppm and 150ppm) were evidenced by decreased content of total starch, total amylose and amylopectin content (mg.g-1 fresh weight). The reverse responses were observed by the application of putrescine and mycorrhiza dose on the plants. © 2019 Technoscience Publications. All rights reserved.
