Study of cadmium and zinc interaction in maize
Original language description
Heavy metals are classified as priority pollutants monitored in environments. Heavy metals are not biodegradable, having ability to accumulate in organisms. Cadmium is one of the most toxic heavy metal ions in the environment due to its high mobility andsevere toxicity to the organisms. Zinc is an essential micronutrient for plants but can be highly toxic when present at excessive concentration. We aimed at investigation of detoxification mechanisms of maize plants (Zea mays L.) treated with the following combinations of zinc(II) and cadmium(II) ions 0 mM Zn2+ + 0 mM Cd2+; 100 mM Zn2+ + 0 mM Cd2+; 0 mM Zn2+ + 100 mM Cd2+; 10 mM Zn2+ + 100 mM Cd2+; 50 mM Zn2+ + 100 mM Cd2+; 75 mM Zn2+ + 100 mM Cd2+ and 100 mM Zn2+ + 100 mM Cd2+ for 10 days. In additionto growth parameters, we electrochemically determined the metal content in plants. To determine the antioxidant activity, we chose three methods FRAP, DPPH and ABTS, which differ in the spectrum of molecules with possible antioxidant act
