摘要
Three heavy metals-mercury (II), copper (II) and nickel (II), each at a concentration of 10 and 100 mug/ml, were tested for their effects on various biochemical constituents of tea leaves. Both NI (II) and HS (II) decreased the phenolic contents, while Cu (II) increased it to some extent. The metal treatments enhanced the activity of phenyl alanine ammonia lyase (PAL), while the activity of poly phenol oxidase (PPO) showed a decline. Heavy metal stress also decreased the chlorophyll content of the leaves, along with a significant reduction in Hill activity. Proline content increased significantly in all treatments.
