Most studies of chromium have been realized in the sediments and in mangrove trees. However, little is known about its effect on growth and metabolism in this vegetation. L. racemosa plants were grown in solution with 20% of ionic strength of Hoagland and Arnon containing 100 mM NaCl and supplemented with 0.00, 0.05 and 0.50 mg L-1 of Cr+3. The growth, the pigments and gas exchange measurements showed no changes in response to doses of chromium. After 30 days the initiation of treatments, plants of L. racemosa had average 0.559 g of total dry weight, 1.34 mg L-1 of total chlorophyll and 7.9 µmol m-2 s-1 of A (CO2 photosynthetic assimilation). The photochemical potential efficiency was affected by the intermediate dose of 0.05 mg L-1 of Cr+3 (Fv/Fm=0.73)... |
