Abstract: | Tissue cultures were initiated from one non-tolerant (S20) and two zinc and lead tolerant (T92 and T94) clones of Anthoxanthum odoratum. Growth of callus from the non-tolerant clone was reduced by the presence of zinc, lead, copper and nickel, whereas callus from the two tolerant clones showed no reduction of growth in the presence of zinc and lead but growth was reduced by copper and nickel. The specificity of metal tolerance shown by the parental material was maintained in the callus. Tolerant and non-tolerant callus accumulated similar amounts of zinc and lead. |
