Silicon tackles butachlor toxicity in rice seedlings by regulating anatomical characteristics, ascorbate-glutathione cycle, proline metabolism and levels of nutrients.
    Scientific reports, 2020, 08-21, Volume: 10, Issue:1

    Reckless use of herbicides like butachlor (Buta) in the fields represents a serious threat to crop plants, and hence to their productivity. Silicon (Si) is well known for its implication in the alleviation of the effects of abiotic stresses; however, its role in mitigating Buta toxicity is not yet known. Therefore, this study was carried out to explore the role of Si (10 µM) in regulating Buta (4 µM) toxicity in rice seedlings. Buta reduced growth and photosynthesis, altered nitric oxide (NO) level and leaf and root anatomy, inhibited enzyme activities of the ascorbate-glutathione cycle (while transcripts of associated enzymes, increased except OsMDHAR), as well as its metabolites (ascorbate and glutathione) and uptake of nutrients (Mg, P, K, S, Ca, Fe, etc. except Na), while addition of Si reversed Buta-induced alterations. Buta stimulated the expression of Si channel and efflux transporter genes- Lsi1 and Lsi2 while the addition of Si further greatly induced their expression under Buta toxicity. Buta increased free proline accumulation by inducing the activity of Δ

Oxidative Stress Response Induced by Butachlor in Zebrafish Embryo/Larvae: The Protective Effect of Vitamin C.
    Bulletin of environmental contamination and toxicology, 2018, Volume: 100, Issue:2

    The widespread contamination and persistence of the herbicide butachlor in the environment resulted in the exposure of non-target organisms. The present study investigated the toxicity effect of butachlor (1-15 µmol/L) and the protective effect of vitamin C (VC) against butachlor-induced toxicity in zebrafish. It was found that butachlor significantly increased the mortality and malformation rates in a dose-dependent manner, which caused elevation in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) after 72 h exposure. Compared with butachlor treatment group, the protective effect of VC against butachlor-induced toxicity were observed after adding 40, 80 mg/L VC respectively. VC significantly decreased the mortality, malformation rates, ROS, MDA, and normalized antioxidant enzymes activities of zebrafish after 72 h exposure. The result shows VC has mitigative effect on butachlor-induced toxicity and it can be used as an effective antioxidant in aquaculture.
