It was found that despite triggering antioxidant enzyme activity, Cd stress heightened lipid peroxidation levels. Exogenous P input partially mitigated the lipid peroxidation impact and decreased the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD) antioxidant enzymes, revealing reduced ROS-scavenging activity. Importantly, notable relationships were determined between the amount of Cd uptake in the root and the amount of non-protein thiols (R2 = 0.914), glutathione (R2 = 0.805) and phytochelatins (R2 = 0.904) in proportion to the amount of exogenous P applied. The levels of amino acids proline and cysteine were also enhanced by exogenous P input showing their influence in alleviating Cd stress. Overall, it is reported that Cd detoxification in ryegrass plants can be stimulated by exogenous P input, which facilitates chelation-mediated Cd detoxification processes.]]> Thu 01 Dec 2022 10:07:29 AEDT ]]>
