Effect of hymexazole (3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole) on cadmium stress and accumulation in Japanese millet (Echinochloa frumentacea Link)

Abstract

The mitigating effects of hymexazole (HMI), choline chloride, indolebutyric acid, ethephon and isoprothiolane on cadmium (Cd) stress and accumulation in Japanese millet were evaluated under aquatic conditions. Among five PGRs, HMI showed the highest mitigating effect; however, in this experiment, almost no effect of calcium (Ca), which has been demonstrated to be a Cd mitigator, on Cd accumulation was observed and the mitigating effect of Ca on Cd stress was less than that of HMI. © Pesticide Science Society of Japan.
