Fractal analysis of the modifications induced on tomato plants [Lycopersicon esculentum] by heavy metals
2007
Oancea, S.
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the treatment with zinc and cadmium on growth of tomato plants, using fractal analysis. In order to evaluate the change on tomato plants we determined the fractal dimension for untreated and treated plant shoots. Our results showed that the heavy metals diminished the fractal dimension of the tomato plants. This means that heavy metals diminished both the plant growth and their capacity to develop complex leaves. This work presents a morphological effect of Zn and Cd toxicity using a quantitative method of study, fractal analysis, with the scope to develop a strategy for heavy metal detoxification.
