Effect of Cadmium on Element in the Root of Mung Bean Seedlings

Article Preview

Abstract:

The metobolism of K, Ca, Mg and microelement in the root of Phaseolus raditus L. were studied. By flame atomic absorption spectromentry (FAAS), the concentration of K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn in the root of mung bean seedlings at the initial stage of growth under cadmium stress (1 μmol/L) were determined. It shows that the concentration of K, Mg and Mn in the root are decreased,but Ca, Zn, Cu, and Fe are increased. So, it indicated that Cd did harm, indirectly, to the root of mung bean seedlings at the initial stage of growth.
