Uptake of lead on plant H Vulgare at different intervals and doses
Author(s): Asna Quraishi and Mukesh Baboo
Abstract: In the present manuscript uptake of Pb (II) and toxic effect of the metal on some biochemical parameters in Barley (H. Vulgare) were studied. The uptake of Pb (II) by the plant gradually increased with increase in concentration of lead nitrate in the irrigation solution. Maximum accumulation of the metal was noticed within 10 days. Maximum removal about (85%) of the metal was recorded below 5µg/ml and 15 µg/ml Pb (II) promoted senescence of barley plant by decreasing chlorophyll, activity of protease, catalase and increasing proxidase activity acid pyro phosphatase and the rate of acid to alkaline pyro phosphatase, protein, free amino acid DNA and RNA over their respective control values But below 10μg/ml these constituents were least affected.
