Effect of Pb-Stress on Growth and Mineral Status of Two Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Cultivars

Abstract: Abstract:Heavy metal pollution of air and agricultural soils is one of the most important ecological problems on world scale.Among the heavy metals, lead (Pb) is one of the common environmental pollutants. To investigate Pb effects on nutrient uptake, two groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars (cultivar K6 and cultivar K9) were grown in pot cultures and stressed with lead nitrate (Pb(NO 3 ) 2 ) at four concentrations (100, 200, 400 and 800 ppm). Pb is accumulated in roots and leaf tissues in dose dependent … Show more

“…The Pb 2+ has a lower hydrated radius (401 pm) than Zn 2+ (430 pm) and Cu 2+ (419 pm) (Nightingale, 1959), which increases Pb retention in the plant. In a study carried out in Arachis hypogaea L. cultivars, changes in Zn and Cu contents showed similar results (Nareshkumar et al, 2014). No significant difference in Mn content of switchgrass was observed in varying Pb doses.…”

“…The cooking of different seeds was carried out with and without presoaking step for different time periods. After cooking, samples were tested for their softness as per the method given by Singh et al (1991). The time required to obtain hundred per cent cooked seeds was recorded as the cooking time.…”

“…The Pb toxicity causes a decrease in the percentage of seed germination (Shafiq et al, 2008), plant growth and yield (Kumar & Jayaraman, 2014), nutrient and mineral disturbances (Lamhamdi et al, 2013;and Nareshkumar et al, 2014), inhibits photosynthesis (Tian et al, 2014), enzyme activity (Malar et al, 2016), as well as causes imbalance and changes in membrane permeability (Sharma & Dubey, 2005;Israr & Sahi, 2008). It is important to note that germination and root growth are the stages of plant development considered to be very sensitive to the contamination of this element.…”
