Effect of lead of Some Morphological and Biochmical Properties in Crisp Lettuce Plants (Lactuca sativa var. crispa)
Abstract
In this study, effect of lead stress on lettuce plants was determined to some morphological and biochemical properties. The study was carried out under greenhouse conditions, after 30 days from seed to plants, it was applied three different lead concentration (0, 150, 300 ppm) with irrigation water. The plants were irrigated eld capacity level. After the four weeks, samples of plant were harvested. Shoot fresh and root fresh weight, shoot dry and root dry weight, stem and root length, leaf area, the amount of malondialdehit (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione reductase (GR) enzyme activities were investigated on sample plant. There were decline to plant biomass, stem and root length, leaf area on increased of lead applications with irrigation water. SOD and GR activities were higher on the treatment of application 300 ppm Pb than other treatment. Antioxidative enzyme system is highly effective in protecting against lead stress in plant.
