The influence of cadmium sulfate in a wide range of concentrations on physiological and biochemical parameters
(lipid peroxidation intensity, chlorophyll and carotenoid content, root system and shoot growth, resistance to
osmotic stress) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has been studied. Nonmonotonic change of all parameters (except
shoot growth) with the increase of cadmium sulfate concentration has been revealed. The chlorophyll and carotenoid
content has been shown to be the most stable parameter in terms of resistance to the toxic action of high concentrations
of cadmium sulfate.
