“…The inhibition of growth by chromium could be mainly due to the accumulation of chromium in the roots. Bishoni (1993) observed that hexavalent chromium applied as potassium di chromate did not affect the percentage germination of pea seed but the growth of radicles and plumule were significantly suppressed above 0.5 mM concentration. Bishoni (1993) also noted that the deleterious effect of chromium was more pronounced on the growth of roots than on shoots.…”

“…The present study showed the deleterious effect of chromium on roots due to its accumulation in the roots which was extremely limited in the shoots. Accumulation of chromium in roots was 100 fold higher than that by shoot regardless of the chromium supplied (Bishoni, 1993). Sharma and Aery (2000) found that low concentration of chromium was stimulatory to the plant growth while other workers contradicted it and observed that chromium is inhibitory and toxic to plant growth.…”

Prosopis seeds were grown under controlled environment in solution of aluminum and chromium at different concentration alone as well as combined together. The effect of these metals was studied on seed germination, root length, shoot length, seedling length and dry biomass. Aluminum and chromium alone, and combined together showed no effects on germination and dry biomass. Chromium alone was found toxic to root, shoot and seedling length. However, application of different concentrations of aluminum increased the root, shoot and seedling growth. It may be concluded that aluminum is not as toxic as chromium, and their combined treatment showed the intermediate effect by ameliorating the impact of one another.

“…The effect of chromium on both species showed inhibitory effect. Bishoni, (1993) reported that chromium VI supplied, as potassium dichromate did not affect the percentage germination but suppressed the growth of radical and plumule, significantly. Its affect was more pronounced on roots than on the shoots.…”

ABSTRACT:The study deals with the effect of metal toxicity (aluminum, chromium and combination of both the metals) on seed germination, root length, shoot length, seedling length and dry biomass of Vigna radiata and V. sinensis. Chromium adversely affected the seedling by significantly reducing the growth whereas aluminum did not show such effect in both the species. Percentage of germination was good in both the species at different concentration of treatment (aluminum, chromium and combined treatment). Shoot length was also not much affected in V. sinensis as it was greatly inhibited in V. radiata. Both the species showed the purpling of stem. Dry biomass of V. radiata showed positive effect than V. sinensis. However, dry biomass decreased to a lesser extent when treated with aluminum, chromium and combined treatment as compared to control.

Bishoni et al, ( 1993) observed that hexavalent chromium applied as potassium di chromate did not affect the percentage germination of pea seed but the growth of radicles and plumule were significantly suppressed above 20 ppm concentration and the deleterious effect of chromium was more pronounced on the growth of roots than on shoots. The present study showed the deleterious effect of chromium on roots due to its accumulation in the roots which was extremely limited in the shoots .Accumulation of chromium in roots was 100 fold higher than that by shoot regardless of the chromium supplied.…”

Phytoextraction is a remediation technology that uses plants to remove heavy metals from soil. The success of a phytoextraction process depends on adequate plant yield (aerial parts) and high metal concentrations in plant shoots. A paper towel experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of plants sunflower (Helianthus annuus), maize (Zea maize), pearl millet ( Sorghum bicolour), green gram (Vigna radiata) and ground nut (Arachis hypogaea). Seeds of these plants were exposed to five different concentrations (10,20,30,40,50 ppm ) of Cr as potassium dichromate. The ecotoxicological effects of hexavalent Chromium (Cr) on germination, early seedling growth and chlorophyll content of five plants were investigated. Cr accumulating capacity of those plants was compared. Different species showed different levels of tolerance to Cr pollution. Total chlorophyll content declined progressively with increasing concentrations of heavy metals. The maximum chromium accumulation capacity of roots was in the order of Zea mays > Sorghum bicolour > Helianthus annus > Arachis hypogaea > Vigna radiata and the amount is 5.56 , 3.65, 3.56, 0.8 and 0.08 ppm respectively.
