Abstract
Arsenic stress greatly affects plant production, threatening food security, and also human health through food chain. Arsenic alters various physiological processes that subsequently affect plant’s normal metabolism. Plant has different mechanisms to protect from stress, where nanoparticles improve plant metabolisms and defence system, thereby alleviating arsenic stress in plant. Therefore, this review discusses the effects of arsenic in plant at different levels, and the roles of NPs in modulating plant defence system against As stress. This review will be encouraging in future research on plant protective mechanisms against stress and the significance of NPs in plant science and agriculture. nitrite reductase, and glutamate dehydrogease, thereby, reducing NO 3̄ and NO 2 ̄ contents and glutamic acid and glutamine ratio 24,25 .

期刊介绍:
Current Science, published every fortnight by the Association, in collaboration with the Indian Academy of Sciences, is the leading interdisciplinary science journal from India. It was started in 1932 by the then stalwarts of Indian science such as CV Raman, Birbal Sahni, Meghnad Saha, Martin Foster and S.S. Bhatnagar. In 2011, the journal completed one hundred volumes. The journal is intended as a medium for communication and discussion of important issues that concern science and scientific activities. Besides full length research articles and shorter research communications, the journal publishes review articles, scientific correspondence and commentaries, news and views, comments on recently published research papers, opinions on scientific activity, articles on universities, Indian laboratories and institutions, interviews with scientists, personal information, book reviews, etc. It is also a forum to discuss issues and problems faced by science and scientists and an effective medium of interaction among scientists in the country and abroad. Current Science is read by a large community of scientists and the circulation has been continuously going up.
Current Science publishes special sections on diverse and topical themes of interest and this has served as a platform for the scientific fraternity to get their work acknowledged and highlighted. Some of the special sections that have been well received in the recent past include remote sensing, waves and symmetry, seismology in India, nanomaterials, AIDS, Alzheimer''s disease, molecular biology of ageing, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Indian monsoon, water, transport, and mountain weather forecasting in India, to name a few. Contributions to these special issues ‘which receive widespread attention’ are from leading scientists in India and abroad.
