Sažetak
This research shows the antioxidative response in radish grown on soils with an elevated Cu and Pb content. Plants grown on soils with higher heavy metal content showed increased activities of guaiacol peroxidase, catalase and lipid peroxidation rate. Increased content of total polyphenols, proteins and proline was observed in the same plants. In general, Cu accumulation was more pronounced in leaves and Pb in hypocotyl. It can be concluded that growing radish on soils enriched with these heavy metals leads to oxidative stress in plants and the risk of Pb accumulation in plant edible part (hypocotyl) can not be neglected.
