Nadia Ait Hamadouche Acta Biologica Szegediensis 2012
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Roots efficiently took up lead in contaminated plants.
- Intervention effect Root growth was higher in controls than contaminated plants.
- Intervention effect Excess lead increased leaf Pb accumulation.
- Observation Lead toxicity symptoms developed after 30 days.
- Intervention effect Heavy metal toxicity decreased chlorophyll concentration.
- Intervention effect Oxidative stress increased peroxidase and catalase activity.
- Association At higher metal concentration, phytoextraction rate or BAC decreased.
