Toxicity and DNA damage in tobacco and potato plants growing on soil polluted with heavy metals

Original language description

Heterezygous tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum var. xanthi) and potato (Solanum tuberosum var. Korela) plants were cultivated on soil from the site Střimice highly polluted with heavy metals, and on non - polluted soil from the recreational area Jezeří, both inNorth Bohemia, Czech Republic. The total content, and content of bioavailable, easily mobile and potentially mobile components of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) in the tested soils, and the accumulation of these metals in the above-ground biomass androots of tested plants were determined. The average tobacco leaf area and potato plant height were significantly reduced in plants growing on the polluted soil. We have measured the DNA damage in nuclei of leaves of both plant species using the Comet assay. A slight but significant increase in DNA damage was noted in plants growing on the polluted soil versus controls. As the tobacco and potato plants with increased DNA damage were severely injured (inhibited growth, distorted leaves
