NICKEL INDUCED BIOCHEMICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL ALTERATION IN BARLEY | BIONATURE

Nickel had an effect on seed germination and early seedling growth in Hordeum vulgare L. cultivated in Petri plates. All of the nickel treatments resulted in 100 percent germination. At 1 M nickel concentration, the germination speed was determined to be the fastest. Higher levels of nickel resulted in a decrease in shoot-root length, fresh weight, dry matter production, and chlorophyll content of seedlings, whereas lower levels resulted in an enhancement. With higher nickel application rates, the amount of soluble protein rose linearly.
