Abstract

In this study, effect of some heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Cd ve Mn) in the form of nitrate salt at differentconcentrations (0.5, 1, 3, 5 ve 7.0 mM) on seed germination and root-shoot growth in Brassica rapa L. var. rapa(fodder turnip) were investigated. After surface sterilization, the seeds were allowed to inflate in 5 ml solutions atthe determined concentrations of heavy metals, while the control group was inflated in distilled water for 6 hours.At the end of this period, the seeds taken from the swelling medium were sown on the double layer rough filterpapers, which were soaked in 5 ml of swelling medium liquid in 9 cm plastic petri-dishes, with 25 seeds on eachdishes. Immediately after sowing, the petri-dishes were covered and kept into plant growth cabinet to germinate inthe dark at 23 ± 1 ºC for 72h. The germination rates of seeds were determined at the end of 72 hours on the basis ofradicula formation. At the end of the period, root and shoot lengths of the germinated seeds in each group were alsomeasured and recorded. It has been determined that seed germination and root-shoot growth decrease in parallel withthe increase in applied heavy metal concentrations. Detection of the highest germination percentage of fodder turnip(known as Pb-tolerant) in Pb treatment after Mn proves that the toxicity threshold value of this species is high.
