Activation of antioxidative and detoxificative systems in Brassica juncea L. plants against the toxicity of heavy metals
Abstract Plant metal hyperaccumulators, to which Brassica juncea belongs, must have very efficient defence mechanisms that enable growth and development in an environment polluted with various heavy metals. B. juncea (Indiana mustard) v. Małopolska was exposed to the activity of trace elements such...
