Abstract
The beneficial as well as toxic effects of chromium with regard to its absorption, translocation and accumulation in different parts of plan ts were reviewed. High concentrations of chromium exhibited severe chl orosis, necrosis and a host of other growth abnormalities and anatomic al disorders. The regulation of the mineral metabolism, enzyme activit y and other metabolic processes by chromium in plants was discussed.
