Effect of Sodium and Cadmium on the Amount of Malondialdehyde Content in the Leaves of Brassica Juncea and Plantago Ovate

Authors(2) :-Vivek Singh, Vijay Pratap Tiwari

Heavy metals mixed in the soil spread toxicity in the plants, due to which the growth of the plant decrease or stop, their weight starts decreasing and their leaves decrease, and heavy metals in excess amount can also cause the death of the plant. Some metals like Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn etc. are also essential for plants in limited quantity but they become toxic in excessive quantity, due to which many types of biochemical changes occur in plants. Due to salinity there is water loss in plants and ionic poisoning also occurs in plants. Salinity also causes oxidative stress in plants. When metals such as sodium and cadmium enter plant cells, plants produce a defense mechanism to protect their tissues from these metals. Various types of low molecular weight proteins etc. are involved in this defense mechanism. In this paper we will study how sodium and cadmium affect the amount of malondialdehyde (MDH) in the leaves of Brassica juncea and Plantago ovata.
