Abstract
Virus infection induced stronger specific peroxidase activity (SPOA) than As treatment. The combination of both stress factors reduced the positive peroxidase response caused by virus infection. Arsenic at rate 50 and 100 mg kgâ1, virus infection and the combination of both stress factors at 25 mg kgâ1 reduced chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid content The virus infection in cases of the higher arsenic doses reduced the As effect. There was an interaction between the two effects of biotic and abiotic stress. When arsenic and virus infection were applied simultaneously, they caused modification of the effect of each stress on the plants, when applied separately.
