Use of Physiological-Biochemical, Cellular and Sub-Cellar Characteristics of Betula Pendula as Markers of Seed Germination and Monitoring Territory Pollution
Abstract:The amount of total soluble protein cytogenetic indices, germination ability in the seed progeny of Betula pendula in areas with different levels of anthropogenic pollution was studied. The seed progeny of Betula pendula has an increased germination ability and total protein in areas with low pollution levels as compared to the control group (seeds collected in the ecologically clean territory) and to the same parameters for the areas with high levels of anthropogenic pressure. A high positive correlation was … Show more
