Enzymatic defense of Cyperus brevifolius in hydrocarbons stress environment and changes in soil properties

Abstract Hydrocarbons or crude oil contamination of soil is still a burning problem around the globe. The herbs competent that are to survive in hydrocarbons contaminated habitats have some adaptive advantages to cope up with the adverse situations prevailing in that environment. In the present stud...
