Assessment of Photosynthetic Pigments and Nutrient Content in Malva parviflora Exposed to Heavy Metal
Keywords:
Malva parviflora Population, Photosynthetic Pigments, Nutrients content, Heavy MetalsAbstract
The present work aimed to study the Photosynthetic Pigments and Nutrient Content in Malva parviflora Exposed to Heavy Metals to Malva parviflora population, One hundred and fifty one stands (10m X 10m) were surveyed in late autumn to early spring (2014-2015 and 2015-2016). The present results reviled that Malva parviflora It is clear from the study that Malva parviflora plants have high elasticity to grow in diverse habitat and rich in plant diversity and is a resource for many plant species of environmental, economic and medical importance, The results showed that the morphological and physiological features of M. parviflora were reduced in the polluted areas. were Statistical analysis indicated high significant variations in Chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids of M. parviflora in different habitats .It can be seen that highest Chlorophyll a was recorded in Agriculture road sites , whil The concentrations of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids sugar in M. parviflora reduced in polluted regions.
also The Results showed of Nutrients content of Malvaparviflora Root that (N) and (P) , (K) significantly differed from habitat . Nitrogen recorded their highest contents in Desert road sites , but the highest content of P were recorded in Two habite Salt marshes and Agricultural road sites , followed K in Railway .
