Studies were carried out to investigate the morphological features of tomato and brinjal at different Cr6+ concentrations. Chromium caused reduction in root length, shoot length and decreased number of branches. Number of stomata and epidermal cells decreased with increasing level of chromium both in tomato and brinjal except on lower side of leaf in tomato. Number of trichomes increased and size of trichomes and stomata decreased. Deformed and less differentiated stomata were frequently present in the treated plants. There was reduction in leaf area, width of primary vein, secondary vein and areoles.
