Abstract
Fluorine is one of the most toxic elements for plants resulting from its high electronegativity. Fluorine compounds, the penetration into the plant tissue, may cause a variety of physiological and biochemical changes. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of 10 mM sodium chloride (NaF) on morphological parameters (root length, shoot length) and physiological parameters (proline, total chlorophyll and carotenoids) in leaves of 10-day-old seedlings of various species of crop plants under laboratory conditions. Results obtained in this experiment showed that fluoride adversely affecting the morphological parameters and physiological parameters of the test plants when compared to control. Among 10 studied plants, three species (barley, radish ‘Minowase Summer Cross’, lupine) indicated high tolerance to NaF compared to the other tested plants. The most sensitive to lead exposure were wheat, radish ‘Carmen’, alfalfa, sunflower, tomato.
