Determination of Morphological and Physiological Changes of Ornamental Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) against Boron Toxicity in Phytoremediation

Boron toxicity in agricultural lands limits plant breeding as a nutrition problem. Some plants are able to tolerate high levels of heavy metals at potentially toxic doses, accumulate them their bodies and remove from the soil. In this study, it was aimed determine morphological physiological responses ornamental cabbage phytoremediation against boron toxicity. This study conducted under controlled greenhouse conditions, 4 different doses (0, 10, 25, 50 mg kg-1 B) were applied 2 soil structures (acidic (S1) alkaline (S2) soils). Toxicity symptoms appeared B. At soil, weights visual properties found be low quality. Results show that dose increased, shoot-root fresh dry weight, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll content, relative water content (RWC) decreased. accumulation shoot, root whole As result, is understood used for decontamination element by method first time study. We suggest has potential hyper-accumulator remediation boron-contaminated
