Effect of Salinity and Cadmium on germination of seed of Plantao ovata and Brassica juncea

Authors(2) :-Vivek Singh, Vijay Pratap Tiwari

Heavy metal contaminant mixes with agricultural land and pollutes it. Due to their pollution, plants have to face different types of damage. The most abundant heavy metal contaminants are usually sodium and cadmium that pollute India's agricultural land. Indian mustard plants, sunflower plants etc. become weak due to high salinity and dry up and die. Although plants have also developed many types of coping mechanisms to deal with unavoidable situations, but those mechanisms can withstand heavy metal contamination only to a limited extent. Due to their pollution, the germination capacity of plant seeds decreases. In the present paper, we will study the toxicity of sodium chloride and cadmium on the germination of seeds of P. ovata and B. juncea.
