Study of the effect of soil pollution with different concentrations of cadmium and lead upon enzymes in the leaf tissues of sunflower and peas.
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: This study was conducted under wire house condition to indicate the effect of soil pollution with different concentration of cadmium and lead upon peroxidase and superoxide dismutase in the leaf tissues of sunflower and peas. The result obtained showed that the treatment of soil with cadmium with concentration (6,9) mg/kg of the soil and the lead (400,600,800) mg/kg of the soil lead to significant increase with the concentration of peroxidase and superoxide dismutase in the leaf tissues of sunflower and peas. Also, there was significant increase with the concentration of peroxidase in the leaf tissues of sunflower When the soil was treated with cadmium with the concentration (3) mg/kg of the soil in comparison with the control treatment. The results also revealed that there was significant domination with the concentration of peroxidase and superoxide dismutase in the leaf tissues of peas in comparison with sunflower.
