Effect of uranyl nitrate on seed germination and early seedling growth of Triticum aestivum

1997

Aery, N. | Jain, G. (University College of Science, Udaipur (India). Dept. of Botany)

Toxic effects of various doses of uranium on different growth parameters in Triticum aestivum during early seedling growth were studied. Root-shoot length, fresh and dry weight and chlorophyll showed a decrease even at the lowest (1.25 micro g per ml) uranyl dose studied. Soluble proteins and phenols showed an increasing trend with increasing uranium doses. Though germination speed was affected, ultimate germination was always 100 percent.
