Abstract

An in-vitro study was carried out on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) to evaluate destructive effects of cadmium as it is most dangerous and imposes lethal effects on plants and animals. Two potato cultivars (Metro and Laura) were propagated in MS media by treating it with various concentrations of cadmium chloride (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5mM). The results indicated leaf number (8.44), node number (4.94) and root parameters such as root length (1.31 cm) and root weight(0.007 g) at 0.3mM CdCl2 concentration supplied with 20 ppm AgNPs in case of Metro while in case of Laura number of shoots (1.33) and shoot weight(0.09 g) in 0.3mM CdCl2 medium supplemented with 20 ppm AgNPs concentration. However in Laura total sugars were decreased in medium supplemented with 20 ppm AgNPs as compared to alone 0.3mM CdCl2.Laura was found to be more cadmium resistant as it has a strong antioxidant system as compared to Metro. Silver nanoparticles imposed positive impacts on the in-vitro cultures of Metro growing in a medium concentrated with cadmium due to the improvement in nutrient uptake.
