Impact of Heavy Metal Cadmium on Leaf Physiology of Grass (Sedges)
Journal Title: Journal of Chemistry and Applied Biochemistry - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Remediation of heavy metal is crucial which can be efficiently achieved by biological treatment compared to chemical and physico-chemical techniques. The best among the biological is application of plants for the uptake of heavy metals from contaminated sites though it has certain limitation but it is economical and environmental safe technique. In order to apply, it is critical to identify the hyperaccumulator plant amongst the population in terms of heavy metals uptake, the present study reconfirms the finding of the grass as a hyperaccumulator by anatomical changes pertaining the heavy metal stress. Anatomical changes can be applied to identify hyperaccumulator at preliminary stage but it needs to be confirmed by metal localization or metal uptake study.
