Comparative analysis of oilseed rape plant tolerance to excessive copper and /inc concentrations
Exploration of plant tolerance to unfavorable environmental conditions such as heavy metals is the important task of the modern biology. The analysis of oilseed rape tolerance to high copper and zinc concentrations presented. The influence of heavy metals on different physiological parameters, among which seed germination, inhibition of root growth, alteration of whole plant biomass and individually leaves and roots was shown. Also authors give attention to data of metal accumulation in overground plant organs. Copper was concluded to show the major toxic effect rather than zinc.
