Effects of lead and nitric oxide on photosynthesis, antioxidative ability, and mineral element content of perennial ryegrass

Hydroponics experiments were conducted to study the effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP, a donor of NO) on lead toxicity in ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) seedlings. When the ryegrass seedlings were grown in a nutrient solution containing 500 μM Pb2+ for two weeks, the plant biomass as well as net ph...
