Effects of Cadmium on Some Biochemical Parameters and Nitrate Redutase activity in Zea mays L. Plants.
Abstract:   (7818 Views)
Maize (Zea mays L) plants grown in hydroponic culture were treated with 0, 50 and 100&thinsp&mumCdCl2. Growth parameters and some biochemical changes were studied in roots and shoots of plants. The results showed that with increasing Cd concentration, root weight, pigment contents (chlorophyll a and b and total carotenoids), reduction of dichlorophenol indophenol, nitrate content and nitrate reductase activity were decreased, while free amino acide, non-protein thiols, endogenous H2O2 and malondealdyde as indicator lipid of peroxidation were increased.
Keywords: maize, Cd toxicity, DCPID, NR, NPT, MD and H2O2
