Levels of T1 (Thallium) in soil from 0 (control) to 50 μg/L through 0.2, 0.5, 1 and 2.5μg/L were directly and positively correlated to levels of T1 in plant tissue, the accumulation being maximum in roots, inter...Levels of T1 (Thallium) in soil from 0 (control) to 50 μg/L through 0.2, 0.5, 1 and 2.5μg/L were directly and positively correlated to levels of T1 in plant tissue, the accumulation being maximum in roots, intermediate in leaves and minimum in stems. Thallium, especially at higher concentrations, adversely affected photosynthesis (as judged based on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters), suggesting inhibition of photo-activation of PSII (Photosystems II), and also decreased the rate of photosynthesis, the rate of transpiration and stomatal conductivity drastically. Exposure to TI also increased the activity of CAT (Catalase) (except at 1 μg/L) and POD (Peroxidase) (except at 0.2 μg/L), suggesting that the antioxidant systems in Coix lacryma-jobi were the main contributors of CAT and SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) and that the tolerance of C. lacryma-jobi to T1 is mainly due to this induced antioxidant machinery.展开更多
