Fe and Cu Accumulation In Lamium moschatum Mill.


Abstract in English

We present in this study accumulate of two heavy metals (Fe - Cu) in the tissues of flowers , leaves , stems and roots of Lamium moschatum Mill. The study showed that the plant accumulated (Fe - Cu) in different concentrations , with an increase in the concentration of (Fe) in all samples specially in roots . The highest concentration of (Cu) was in flowers (1669.23 mlg/kg) , and for (Fe) was in roots (4539.5 mlg/kg) . The results showed a convergency in the concentrations of (Cu) in the parts of plant for the same sample (432.62 - 490.75 - 353.409 - 272.73 mlg/kg) in flowers , leaves , stems and roots in order . but the concentrations of (Fe) in roots was higher than that in flowers , leaves and stems for the same sample . In sample -5- the value of (Fe) in roots was (1124.91 mlg/kg) but in flowers , leaves and stems at the same sample was ( 234.83 - 218.82 - 205.24 mlg/kg ) in order.
