Anti-oxidative Potential Survival of E. crassipes Under Oxidative Stress

Abstract

Received: 22/May/2019, Accepted: 09/Jun/2019, Online: 30/Jun/2019 AbstractThe present study evaluates the kinetic constants of enzymatic assays in crude extracts of roots and shoots of E. crassipes growing in wastewater bodies situated in the trans-Ganges/Yamuna regions of Allahabad. The increased kinetic constants in crude extracts of shoots and roots of E. crassipes showing the ability to protect plants from heavy metal induced oxidative stress by activating multi-defense mechanisms and for better growth in polluted environments. This study demonstrates the phytoremediation potential of E. crassipes for the removal of polluted effluents and their ability to survive under oxidative stress.
