Ethylene mediates dichromate-induced oxidative stress and regulation of the enzymatic antioxidant system-related transcriptome in Arabidopsis thaliana

Dichromate [Cr(VI)] induces phytotoxicity either directly by interfering in a plant’s physiological, biochemical, and/or molecular process or indirectly by stimulating reactive oxygen species accumulation (ROS). The underlying mechanism in Cr(VI)-induced ROS mediated phytotoxicity is elusive. In the current study, we investigate the possibility that Cr(VI)-induced alteration in the total biomass production, cell/tissue viability, and cell...
