Growth and physiological activity of canary-grass plants (<i>Phalaroides arundinacea</i>) at oil-contaminated soils
The effect of oil-contaminated soils on the physiological and biochemical characteristics of reed canary-grass plants was studied. 10% oil-contamination caused in leaves stable oxidative stress, pigments destruction, decreasing of total nitrogen and amino acid content. In contrast to leaves plant rhizomes were more tolerant to oil contamination. Stimulation of roots growth was shown at 5% oil-contamination. As a result oil did not influence on plant growth what indicates tolerant of long-rhizome cereal to high concentrations of oil contamination.
