Changes in the content of phenolic and proline accumulation in
maize pl ants roots and shoots under influence of cadmium ions in different
concentration (10-8, 10-7, 10-6 M) were investigated. Increase of quantity
phenolic compounds, free proline accumulation and percentage of proline to
total cont ent of free amino acids under influence of heavy metal ions has been
shown. Possible causes of changes above – mentioned index under influence of
cadmium ions are discussed.
