Molecular Responses of Groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) to Zinc Stress
Journal Title: Журнал ÑтреÑÑ-физиологии и биохимии - Year 2013, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Heavy metals are important environmental pollutants and their toxicity is a problem of increasing significance for ecological, evolutionary and environmental reasons. The interference of germination related proteins by heavy metals has not been well documented at the proteomic and genomic level. In the current study, molecular responses of germinating groundnut seeds were investigated under Zinc stress. The SDS-PAGE showed the preliminary changes in the polypeptides patterns under Zinc stress. Restriction digestion banding pattern of EcoRI and Hind III enzymes showed distinct banding pattern in the treated plants.
