Abstract


The responses to arsenic (As) and curcumin (Cur) were examined in Vigna radiata L. (Mung bean) seedlings in order to evaluate the role of Cur in reducing the effects of As stress. To aim this, As, Cur and their interactions were investigated on growth, biochemical, cytological and histochemical traits in the plant seedlings. The findings demonstrated that As stress causes chromosomal abnormalities such as C-mitosis, Laggard chromosome, clumped metaphase, and Bridge in Anaphase. Additionally, some cells nucleoli did not vanish during metaphase. The morphological traits like germination percentage and seedling growth were altered with a simultaneous aggravation in amylase and antioxidant activity under As stress. The application of Cur significantly improved morphological traits, and antioxidant activity. Chromosomal aberrations, mitotic index, oxidative stress marker, and histochemical parameters were also altered in the interaction study of As and Cur. The investigation revealed that the consequences of As-induced phytotoxicity and chromosomal aberrations in Vigna radiata seedlings were ameliorated by Cur by perking up the antioxidative enzymes and augmenting amylase activity in a dose-dependent manner.
