ABSTRACT:

Typha angustifolia L. is one of the most important helophyte. The aim of this study was to identify morphological and production reactions Typha angustifolia under the action of different concentrations of lead. It was found that lead concentrations of 0.25; 2.5 and 10 mg / l stimulated the growth and production processes in the cattail, but at higher concentrations effect of stimulation was decreased. The highest lead concentration (10.0 mg / l) caused a decrease in the average leaf area. Stimulation of growth and production indicators of cattail plants can be considered as an adaptive response to pollution.

KEYWORDS:
