About this document
Arsenic Stress in Mung Bean: Thiourea by Frontiers is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes a study that investigated the effects of arsenic and thiourea on mung bean plants. The study found that arsenic exposure caused oxidative stress in the plants, inhibiting their growth. It reduced antioxidant enzyme activities and glutathione levels. This led to a buildup of hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxidation. Applying thiourea to the seeds and foliage counteracted the oxidative stress by increasing antioxidant capacities. It boosted hydrogen peroxide scavenging and glutathione
