Physiological responses of Cucurbita pepo seeds to cadmium and copper stress: Differential impacts on reserve mobilization, metabolic efficiency, and growth
Fig 5
Biochemical content of zucchini (C. pepo L.) seedlings after 8 days of germination under CdCl2 and CuCl2 stress.
(A) Total soluble sugars content of cotyledons, (B) Protein content of cotyledons, and (C) Total soluble sugars content of embryonic axes. Values for the same parameter that are labeled with different letters are significantly different at p ≤ 0.05, as determined by Fisher’s LSD test.
