Abstract:
The aim of the present study was to investigate the mitigating potential of activated charcoal (AC) on growth and metabolism of Pisum sativum L. in presence of benzoic acid (BA). BA in concentrations of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mM was added. Activated charcoal at 20g/pot was used. 21 days old seedlings were used for biophysical and biochemical analyses. BA exhibited adverse effect on all parameters.
Keywords:
Activated charcoal, antioxidants, benzoic acid, oxidative stress, Pisum sativum.
