Heavy metal toxicity: Effect on plant growth, biochemical parameters and metal accumulation by Brassica juncea L.
Plant growth, pigment concentration, biochemical parameters and uptake of heavy metals were determined for Brassica juncea L. in response to cadmium and lead stress. The plant exhibited a decline in growth, chlorophyll content and carotenoids with Cd and Pb but Cd was found to be more detrimental than Pb treatment in B. juncea. The protein content was decreased by Cd (900 μM) to 95% and 44% by ...
متن کاملBioremediation of thermal power plant effluents with chitosan and chitosan nano particels
Water pollution caused by thermal power plant effluent discharges has become a worrisome phenomenon due to its impact on environmental health and safety. Many treatment processes that have been used to remove heavy metals from wastewater are suffered from high cost. Chitosan is a low cost adsorbent which is biodegradable and biocompatible polymer obtained from shrimp biowaste. In the present st...
متن کاملToxic Effects of Heavy Metals on Plant Growth and Metal Accumulation in Maize (Zea maysL.)
Background: A pot experiment was conducted to determine the toxic effects of some heavy metals on the plant growth and seed yield of maize (Zea mays L.). Materials and Metheds: Heavy metals Mn, Pb, Cd, Cr and Co individually and in combinations were added as chloride salts in solutions to the pots before sowing. The test plants for were harvested after 80 days of germination and evaluated f...
