The in vivo substitution of magnesium, the central atom of chlorophyll, by heavy metals
(mercury, copper, cadmium, nickel, zinc, lead) leads to a breakdown in photosynthesis and …

Twenty-day-old cucumber plants were submitted to copper stress during 5 days. Leaf
expansion rather than dry weight accumulation was the first target of copper inhibition …

Use of phytotoxicity of metallic compounds dates back to 1896, when the French farmers
applied Bordeaux mixture (copper sulphate, lime and water) to control fungal pests (Martin …

The aim of this study was to study the relationship between growth inhibition in Cu-treated
Cucumis sativus L. seedlings and photosynthesis. Twenty-two days after sowing, copper …

Changes in photosynthetic and antioxidant activities in maize (Zea mays L.) leaves of
cultivars 3223 and 31G98 exposed to excess copper (Cu) were investigated. Cu treatment …

The amphibious water plant Crassula helmsii is an invasive copper (Cu)-tolerant neophyte
in Europe. It now turned out to accumulate Cu up to more than 9,000 ppm in its shoots at 10 …

Changes in the lipid composition and fluidity of PSII‐enriched thylakoids were studied in
seedlings of wheat (Triticum durum Desf. cv. Adamello) grown in nutrient solution …
