Copper-induced oxidative stress, initiation of antioxidants and phytoremediation potential of flax ( Linum usitatissimum L.) seedlings grown under the mixing of two different soils of China
Muhammad Hamzah Saleem,Shah Fahad,Shahid Ullah Khan,Mairaj Din,Abid Ullah,Ayman El Sabagh,Akbar Hossain,Analía Llanes,Lijun Liu +8 more
TL;DR: High concentration of Cu in the soil affected plant growth and development by reducing plant height, plant diameter and plant fresh and dry biomass and chlorophyll contents in the leaves compared with the control, while L. usitatissimum is able to revoke large amount of Cu from the soil and could be grown as flaxseed and a potential candidate for phytoremediation of Cu.
