This study was conducted in the greenhouse of Biology Department in the College of Science-Salahaddin University-Erbil, which consisted of interaction application of Salicylic acid (SA) concentrations (0,100,200,400 ppm) and Lead (Pb) concentrations (0, 5, 10 ppm) on vegetative growth, yield and chemical components of common bean. It was found that SA significantly decreased the harmful effects of Pb on the vegetative growth characteristics such as plant height, number of leaves.plant -1 , number of branches.plant -1 , the dry weight of the shoot system, and yield components such as number of seeds.pod -1 , dry weight of 100 seeds. The adverse effects of Pb on chemical components such as chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll contents, total protein content of leaves , and total sodium by the influence of salicylic acid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
