Abstract

Portulaca oleracea has tendency to remove heavy metals from the soil as it has phytoremediation properties. This plant has potential to with stand heavy metal stress without getting impacts on normal plant physiology. The aim of this study was to investigate phytoremediation capacity of P. oleracea. Study was carried out by using Co and Pb as heavy metals and their accumulation in plants was analyzed precisely. Impacts of Co and Pb on plant growth parameters i.e., height and biomass was also being studied. Experimental data revealed that Pb had lower negative impact in comparison to Co and Pb had higher level of chlorophyll in comparison to Co.
