Abstract

Various strategies may be used to induce enhanced protection against heavy metal stress. Foliar application of GB is an effective approach for imparting tolerance among plants against heavy metals and other abiotic stresses. It scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS), promotes osmotic adjustment, stabilizes proteins and protects membrane integrity in plants under adverse conditions. In a pot experiment, GB was exogenously applied at 0, 50 and 100 mMconc to wheat plants. Based on data, it is suggested that GB spray increased morphological parameters such as shoot and root length, biomass, photosynthetic pigments and Na , K ion ++ contents. Thus, it is stated that exogenous GB application is an applicable approach to deal effectively with heavy metal toxicity in wheat.
