[ 1 ] - Copper-stress tolerance induced in Phlomis tuberosa depends on nitric oxide accumulation

In this study, we compared the impact of high Cu concentrations on the photosynthetic apparatus and antioxidant capacity of the Phlomis tuberosa. Plants were grown in perlite culture for 5 weeks, and then treated with 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 µM Cu for 21 days. Results indicated that Phlomis tuberosa plants showed tolerance to 100 and 200 µM Cu. This increased tolerance was achieved through enh...
