Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an annual herb, used as a spice and traditionally as medicine. Fenugreek finds its uses in treating hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and disorders of gastro-intestinal and cardiovascular systems. Fenugreek cultivation in India is affected by fungal diseases like root-rot and damping-off and fungicides like carbendazim are used to overcome these infections. Fungicides play both positive and negative role in plants; fungicides protect plants from diseases and also exert oxidative stress simultaneously. This report is on the response of antioxidants, superoxide dismutase and catalase in fenugreek seeds and plants treated to different concentrations of carbendazim.
胡芦巴(Trigonella foenum - graecum)是一种一年生草本植物,用作香料,传统上也用于医药。胡芦巴可用于治疗高血糖、高血脂以及胃肠道和心血管系统疾病。印度的胡芦巴种植受到根腐病和猝倒病等真菌病害的影响,多菌灵等杀菌剂被用于克服这些感染。杀菌剂在植物中发挥着正负两方面的作用;杀菌剂保护植物免受病害,但同时也会产生氧化应激。本报告研究了不同浓度多菌灵处理下胡芦巴种子和植株中抗氧化剂、超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化氢酶的反应。
