Abstract Heavy metal toxicity is one of the major ecosystem concerns globally in present time and is also responsible for
significant threat to agronomic crops. The current work was conducted to investigate the possible ameliorative
role of proline in Coriandrum sativum L. seedlings treated with mercury (Hg). The seedlings were exposed to
different concentrations of Hg (0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 mM) for 20 days. The effects of pre-sowing treatment with proline were studied on C. sativum seedlings in terms of pigment (chlorophylls, carotenoids and anthocyanins), malondialdehyde (MDA), antioxidant compound (glutathione, total phenolic compounds, ascorbic acid) and
osmolytes (proline, glycine betaine).… More >
