Separate and combined effect of cadmium and salinity on growth and photosynthetic pigments content in barley cultivars (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Abstract

It was studied the combined effect cadmium and salinity on growth and content of photosynthetic pigments ( chl.a,chl.b, carotenoids ) of different barley varieties (Arna, Bastama, Odesskaya-100, Asem, Ilek-42, Inkar, Saule) . It was shownt the inhibition of growth and decrease of photosynthetic pigments of barley cultivars under cadmium and salinity stress . It was identified tolerant and sensitive barley varities.
