EFFECT OF IODINE ON NON-ENZYMATIC ANTIOXIDANT LEVELS OF GLYCINE MAX L. GROWN UNDER HEAVY METAL AND HEAT STRESS
##article.abstract##
ABSTRACT
Â
Objective: The present research work was designed response of iodine on non-enzymatic antioxidant levels grown under heavy metal and heat stress in soybean.
Â
Methods: Soybean seeds exposed to different concentrations three of which were applied in increasing doses of IO3− (20, 40 and 80 µM as KIO3-) with Heavy metal and Heat stresses were subjected to analysis of non-enzymatic biochemical parameters including ascorbic acid, proline, glutathione, using the standard protocols.
Â
Results: The application of IO3− can improve the levels of non-enzymatic antioxidant levels to severe cadmium chloride and Heat stress in soybean seeds (Glycine max L). Our study recommends that IO3− could be considered a possible beneficial element to counteract the harmful effects of  cadmium chloride and heat stress.
Conclusion: Our study recommends that IO3− could be considered as a possible beneficial element to counteract the harmful effects of  cadmium chloride and heat stress.
