Response of Urban Roadside Greening Plant Exposed to Automobile Exhaust Pollution

Article Preview

Abstract:

The changes of chlorophyll, malondialdehyde(MDA) and the catalase(CAT) activity in mature leaves of a common urban roadside greening plant------- Buxus sinica were studied. The results show that under automobile exhaust polluted environment, the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll decreased while the content of MDA and the activity of CAT increased. These changes have correlation with the automobile exhaust pollution.
