The present study investigates the possible mediatory role of exogenously applied glycinebetaine (betaine) and proline on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and methylglyoxal (MG) detoxification systems in mung bean seedlings subjected to cadmium (Cd) stress (1 mM CdCl2, 48 h). Cadmium stress caused a si...

The present study investigates the regulatory role of exogenous selenium (Se) in the antioxidant defense and methylglyoxal (MG) detoxification systems in rapeseed seedlings exposed to salt stress. Twelve-day-old seedlings, grown in Petri dishes, were supplemented with selenium (25 μM Na(2)SeO(4)) an...

Microplastics were determined in pink Bombay-duck (Harpadon nehereus), white Bombay-duck (H. translucens) and gold-stripe sardine (Sardinella gibbosa) collected from the Northern Bay of Bengal at Bangladesh. Gastrointestinal tracts of fishes (n = 25 per species) were examined for microplastics follo...

This study was carried out to determine the effect of moisture content on some physical properties of lentil seeds. Four levels of moisture content ranging from 10.33% to 21.00% (wet basis) were considered in this study. The shape of the lentil seed was a disc shape with dimensions of diameter and t...

The protective effect of selenium (Se) on antioxidant defense and methylglyoxal (MG) detoxification systems was investigated in leaves of rapeseed (Brassica napus cv. BINA sharisha 3) seedlings under cadmium (Cd)-induced oxidative stress. Two sets of 11-day-old seedlings were pretreated with both 50...

Background Recent evidence suggests that the vitamin A equivalency of beta-carotene from plant sources is lower than previously estimated. Objective We assessed the effect of 60 d of daily supplementation with 750 microg retinol equivalents (RE) of either cooked, puréed sweet potatoes; cooked, purée...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and salicylic acid (SA) exhibit protective effects against a wide array of stresses. In this study, we investigated the relative efficacy of exogenous H2O2 and SA in conferring drought tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.). The experiment was repeated two times, firstly in a h...

We investigated the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of different forms (local names: mura and chora ) of turmeric (Curcuma longa) from the Khulna and Chittagong divisions of Bangladesh for their antioxidant properties and polyphenol, flavonoid, tannin, and ascorbic acid contents. The antioxidant acti...

In order to elucidate the role of antioxidant responses in salinity tolerance in rice genotypes under salt stress, experiments were conducted using four rice varieties, including salt-sensitive BRRI dhan 28 and three salt-tolerant varieties BRRI dhan 47, BINA dhan 8 and BINA dhan 10. Thirty-day-old ...
