| dc.description.abstract | The chloride salts of Cd or Ni were added to the nutrient solution in which soybean (Glycine max) plants were grown and the response of the plants to these pollutants examined. Both metals markedly reduced plant biomass and seed production. Accumulation was mostly in the roots. Nickel was more mobile than Cd, reaching higher levels in all plant parts, especially seeds. Within the tissues of mature seeds, the highest concentrations of Ni were found in the axis and testa. The highest concentrations of Cd were in the testa and cotyledon, and the lowest in the axis. When expressed on a per seed basis, metal contents of these organs increased with developmental age. Nickel amounts were lower in the pods than the seeds for all growth stages, however there was no significant difference for Cd. Cadmium reduced mature seed mass. This effect was mostly due to decreased yields of lipids, protein and carbohydrates. Although the number of seeds per pod declined as a response to Ni, seed mass was unaffected and there was no apparent effect on storage reserves. | en_ZA |
