Inhibition of Solanaceae plants by combined effect of increased concentrations of heavy metals and viral infection
- Virology Department, Taras Shevchenko Kiev National University, 01033 Kiev, Ukraine
On plants of a Solanaceae family cultivated on a ground with increased concentrations of metals (Cu = 10; Pb = 21.5; Zn = 13.2 mg/kg) was shown both propagation and development depressing and decreasing of common protein. The superposition of a virus infection (TMV, PVX) results in considerable accumulation of viruses and early plants death. The contamination of soil by heavy metals results in plants propagation and development depressing, that in turn entails considerable development of viral and other infections resulting in crop losses.
