Title A name given to the resource Effect of heavy metal stress on biochemical and antioxidant efficacy of Chamaecostus cuspidatus Subject The topic of the resource APX; CAT; Chamaecostus cuspidatus; DPPH; FRAP; insulin plant; SOD Description An account of the resource Chamaecostus cuspidatus, commonly known as insulin plant is medicinally important and a rich source of several secondary metabolites which exhibit pharmacological properties. In the present study, three different heavy metals (Pb, Cu and Cr) with different concentrations (Pb and Cr-50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 ppm and for Cu 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 ppm) was used for heavy metal treatment and its impact on several biochemical and antioxidant parameters was measured of the test plant along with control. Current study mainly focuses on the biochemical and antioxidants estimation of root and rhizome of C. cuspidatus. Protein, proline and carbohydrate content was increased in the treated groups. Total phenol and total flavonoid content were also found to be increased in all the treated groups. Both enzymatic (SOD, CAT, APX) and nonenzymatic antioxidants (DPPH, FRAP and total antioxidant activity) was measured. Antioxidant activity was also high in the treated groups. Highest DPPH activity was found in Cu 25 treated rhizome 91.8030.157 and lowest was observed in Pb 50 treated root 4.5530.240. Highest reducing power activity (FRAP) was observed in Cr 100 treated rhizome 0.75860.0008 and least was found in control root 0.2090.0005. Heavy metals accumulation was also measured and maximum heavy metal accumulation was found in soil following by root and rhizome of all the treated groups. 2024, Indian journals. All rights reserved.
