AIR POLLUTION TOLERANCE INDEX OF Plantago major IN STEELWORKS AREA OF ZENICA, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Journal Title: Genetics & Applications - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Atmospheric pollution is among the largest anthropogenic impacts on the ecosystem. In numerous studies it was observed that plants, especially those that grow in urban areas, are heavily influenced by different pollutants and their survival is correlated with structural and metabolic adaptation to stressful environmental conditions. Primary objective of this study was to determine the index of tolerance to air pollution (APTI) of plantain (Plantago major), on two locations in Zenica. The results indicated that index of tolerance to air pollution of P. major, APTI, is higher in individuals sampled from the contaminated site, than those in the control area.
