Thymoquinone Alleviates Cadmium Induced Stress in Germinated <i>Lens culinaris</i> Seeds by Reducing Oxidative Stress and Increasing Antioxidative Activities

This study investigated the effect of thymoquinone on seeds germination and young seedlings of lentils under cadmium (Cd) stress (300 µM). Three different concentrations (10 µM, 1 µM, and 0.1 µM) of thymoquinone were applied. Our results indicated that thymoquinone has a positive effect on several p...
