J. Gil et al., EFFECT OF CADMIUM ON PHYSIOLOGICAL AND NUTRITIONAL ASPECTS IN TOMATO PLANT .2. SOLUBLE AND RUBISCO PROTEINS AND NUTRIENT EVOLUTION, Fresenius environmental bulletin, 4(7), 1995, pp. 436-440
The effects occasioned by Cd on proteins and Ribulose 1,5-biphosphate
Carboxylase/Oxygenase (RubisCo) in leaf have been studied in this soil
-less experiment with tomato plant, as well as those effects produced
on nutrient concentration in leaves. Three levels of Cd (0, 15 and 30
mg L(-1)) have been settle down in the nutrient solution. It has been
observed a descent of protein and RubisCo along the time of exposition
to Cd. Micronutrients like Cu, Mn and Zn have been also affected and
poor effects have been appreciated for the rest of the elements analyz
