THE EFFECTS OF CADMIUM ON THE ANTIOXIDATIVE RESPONSES OF LEAVES OF Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala

摘要

In this study, Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala seedlings were treated with different cadmium (Cd) concentrations (100, 200 ve 400 mu g g(-1)) for 15 days. At the end of the treatment, the effects of Cd on the pigment content, lipid peroxidation, enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants were investigated in leaves. In addition, Cd content in leaves and roots were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer.
