Chick Pea Case Study
Aim: Detection and estimation of heavy metal accumulation in chick pea cultivated on heavy metal contaminated soil.
Significance: In this 21st century we are facing many environmental problems including pollution, global warming, etc. The everincreasing urge of urbanization and industrialization for economic growth have led to enviornmental pollution (Mireles et al. 2012). For instance, the smoke from chimneys affects the atmosphere, the untreated wastewater containing heavy metals when disposed to open field causes water and soil pollution. Thus, the altered soil contaminated with heavy metals may decrease soil fertility and enter the food chain leading to bioaccumulation which further results in various health problems. Plants can be used …show more content…
et al in 2008. They checked the salt stress tolerance in both and proved kabuli cultivar were more resistant. The study on bacterial interactions with legumes by Deepak K.M. et al 2011 using Pseudomonas isolates resulted in stunted development of root and shoot due to production of IAA. Pseudomonas coinoculation with Mesorhizobium species resulted in enhanced growth and nodulation in chick pea. Mayuri S.R. et al 2011 also reported the additive Lead detoxification effect in legume when in combination with microbes. Sunayna D. et al 2011 investigated for bioremoval of lead and chromium in chick pea. Aerial parts of plant showed lower accumulation than roots. In same year, Urvashi Sharma and C. G. Suresh purified a Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitor protein (CPTI) from the seeds of chickpea. They performed x-ray crystallisation and found IC50 value against trypsin to be 2.5µg. In 2013, Gurpreet S. et al studied the effect of copper stress in physiology of chick pea and antioxidant enzyme present in it. Murti S.K. et al 2013 studied the effect of EDTA on Copper (Cu) bioaccumulation in chick pea. Iqnaa N. and Mehvish N. in 2014 studied the growth pattern of chick pea under salt stress conditions. Salt stress also caused reduction in ion uptake and accumulation. Na+, K+, and Ca+ contents in both leaf and shoot reduced under salt stress, also the photosynthetic pigments i.e. chlorophyll ‘a’
