Abstract

Lead concentrations (0, 500, 1000, 2000 ppm) in soil caused changes in botanical traits and biochemical structure. Decrease in plant height, root length, shoots fresh-dry weights and roots fresh-dry weights were obtained. Also lead caused decrement in chl.a, chl.b, total carotenoids and catalase enzyme activity, while increment in both peroxidase and Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were observed in plant leaves under lead treatment compared with control. Increasing in plant height, root length, shoots fresh-dry weight, roots fresh-dry weight, chl.a,b, total carotenoids and catalase enzyme activity, also decrement in  peroxidase and SOD  enzymes were noted response to applying mycorrhiza fungi, EDTA-Fe and ascorbic acid treatments.
