Silicon and copper interaction in the growth of spring wheat seedlings
1997
Nowakowski, W. (Warsaw Agricultural Univ. (Poland). Dept. of Environmental Protection)
Shoot and root fresh and dry matters and their Cu content were determined in 7-d-old seedlings of Triticum aestivum cv. Alkora treated with Cu [10, 20, 40 microg cm*[-3]] and Si [500 microg cm*[-3]]. Si significantly reduced the toxic effect of Cu on fresh and dry matter production of wheat seedlings. Moreover, plants treated with Cu and Si absorbed less Cu from the solution and had higher water content in shoots and roots than these treated with Cu only.
