Abstract excerpt
The combined effects of cobalt (Co) and copper (Cu) in their toxicity to plants is poorly studied although these two metals co-exist commonly in soil. In this study, a hydroponic experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of longer exposure of two barley genotypes differing in Co tolerance to the combined Co and Cu stress. The results confirmed the previous findings that Co accumulation in plant tissues...
