Abstract Arsenic contamination of groundwater is a major concern for its use as drinking water and crop irrigation in many regions of the world. Arsenic is absorbed by rice plants from arsenic contaminated water during irrigation, hampers growth and agricultural productivity. The aim of the study was to mitigate the activity of TCA cycle, synthesis of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and polyamines (PAs) in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. MTU-1010) seedlings under arsenate (As-V) stress [25 µM, 50 µM and 75 µM] by silicon (Si) [2 mM] and selenium (Se) [5 µM] amendments, and to investigate which chemical was more potential to combat this threat. As(V) application decreased the activities of tested respiratory enzymes while the levels of organic acids (OAs) were increased in the test seedlings. Co-application of Si and As(V) increased the activities of respiratory enzymes, consequently further increased accumulation of OAs that were more than Se with As(V) application in the test seedlings. GABA accumulation along with the activities of its regulatory enzymes were enhanced under As(V) stress. During joint application of Si and As(V) and Se and As(V) said parameters were decreased showing defensive role of these chemicals to resist As(V) toxicity in rice but amendment of Si was more potential than Se amendment resulted reduction of stress induced damage in the test seedlings. PAs trigger tolerance mechanism against stress in plants. PAs viz., Putrescine, spermidine and spermine were synthesized more during Si and Se amendments in As(V) contaminated rice seedlings to combat the effect of stress. Si amendment substantially modulated the toxic effects caused by As(V) over Se amendment in As(V) challenged test seedlings. Thus in future application Si enriched fertilizer will be beneficial than application of Se enriched fertilizer to grow rice plants with normal vigor in arsenic contaminated soil.

Leaf Formation

Prunus africana bark contains phytochemical compounds used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. It has been shown that this plant establishes association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF are involved in nutrient uptake, which may also affect plant growth and secondary metabolites composition. However, there is no information regarding the role of AMF in the growth and phytochemical content of P. africana. A pot experiment was carried out to assess the response of 8 months old vegetatively propagated P. africana seedlings inoculated with indigenous AMF collected from Mount Cameroon (MC) and Mount Manengumba (MM) in Cameroon, Malava near Kakamega (MK) and Chuka Tharaka-Nithi (CT) in Kenya. Mycorrhizal (frequency, abundance and intensity), growth (height, shoot weight, total weight, number of leaf, leaf surface) and phytochemical (total phenol, tannin and flavonoids) parameters were measured three months after growth of seedlings from two provenances (Muguga and Chuka) with the following inoculation treatments: MK, CT, MC, MM, non-sterilized soil (NS) and sterilized sand as non-inoculated control. Results showed that seedling heights were significantly increased by inoculation and associated with high root colonization (>80%) compared to non-inoculated seedlings. We also found that AMF promoted leaf formation, whereas inoculation did not have any effect on the seedling total weight. AMF inoculum from MM had a higher tannin content, while no significant difference was observed on the total phenol and flavonoid contents due to AMF inoculation. Pearson’s correlation was positive between mycorrhizal parameters and the growth parameters, and negative with phytochemical parameters. This study is the first report on the effect of AMF on the growth and phytochemical in P. africana. Further investigations are necessary to determine the effect of single AMF strains to provide better understanding of the role of AMF on the growth performance and physiology of this important medicinal plant species.

Potential Source

Paddies are a potential source of anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) emission. In paddies, both the soil and the rice plants emit N2O into the atmosphere. The rice plant in the paddy is considered to act as a channel between the soil and the atmosphere for N2O emission. However, recent studies suggest that plants can also produce N2O, while the mechanism of N2O formation in plants is unknown. Consequently, the rice plant is only regarded as a channel for N2O produced by soil microorganisms. The emission of N2O by aseptically grown plants and the distinct dual isotopocule fingerprint of plant-emitted N2O, as reported by various studies, support the production of N2O in plants. Herein, we propose a potential pathway of N2O formation in the rice plant. In rice plants, N2O might be formed in the mitochondria via the nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide (NO3–NO2–NO) pathway when the cells experience hypoxic or anoxic stress. The pathway is catalyzed by various enzymes, which have been described. So, N2O emitted from paddies might have two origins, namely soil microorganisms and rice plants. So, regarding rice plants only as a medium to transport the microorganism-produced N2O might be misleading in understanding the role of rice plants in the paddy. As rice cultivation is a major agricultural activity worldwide, not understanding the pathway of N2O formation in rice plants would create more uncertainties in the N2O budget.
