Implication

Randomized trial shows 6-benzylaminopurine enhances growth under copper stress in Carthamus tinctorius, suggesting a protective role against heavy metal toxicity.

Key Points

The study aims to examine the effect of 6-benzylaminopurine on copper tolerance in Carthamus tinctorius during germination and growth stages.
Evaluated various levels of copper (CuSO4) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) using a factorial design.
Measured growth parameters, biochemical and molecular responses, including protein content and gene expression levels.
Analyzed seed germination and vegetative growth under different Cu and BAP concentrations.
High Cu levels reduced seed germination and growth metrics significantly.
BAP application at 350 µM improved chlorophyll content (Chl a 78.30%, Chl b 160%) and antioxidant enzyme activities (root POX 112%, shoot POX 229%).
BAP decreased total phenolic (41.50%) and anthocyanin content (31.42%) in shoots while enhancing SOD and PAL gene expression.
