Abstract

Citrus and Fig were analyzed for different physiological and biochemical parameters along with the determination of heavy metal accumulation. Fig showed maximum plant fresh weight while minimum plant fresh weight was observed for Citrus. Citrus showed more dry plant weight, higher concentrations of proline, DNA with more DNA purity, proteins, Cd, Cr, and Pb as compared to Fig
