Abstract
The influence of high Cd[sup]2+[/sup] concentrations on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system function of winter wheat ([i]Triticum aestivum[/i]) and rye ([i]Secale cereale[/i]) etiolated shoots. It is shown that etiolated shoots of winter rye with different length dare progressively inhibited by high Cd[sup]2+[/sup], but wheat seedlings are not inhibited by such way. The rate of lipid peroxidation in the presence of Cd[sup]2+[/sup] in wheat shoots was lower than in rye shoots. Catalase activity in the presence of Cd[sup]2+[/sup] in rye shoots was lower than in wheat shoots but peroxidase activity was higher in wheat shoots.
