Abstract

The present investigation deals with the effect of electroplating industrial effluent on the seed germination , morphological characters such as shoot and root length , yield in terms of total fresh weight and dry weight, photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll and carotenoid content), sugar and protein concentrations, catalase, peroxidase and the activity of amylase in a barley plants. It was observed that germination , plant growth, photosynthetic pigments (Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoid content), proteins and amylase activity of barley plants were found to be adversely affected with the increasing concentrations of electroplating industry effluent. A significant stimulation in sugar concentration was observed at lower concentration of electroplating effluent. Activities of two important iron enzymes such as catalase and peroxidase were significantly increased in barley plants at increasing concentrations of effluent.
