The present experiment was undertaken to investigate a change in the level of growth,
and biochemical aspects, total protein and pigment content in Brassica juncea treated with
Cd and Pb in order to contribute to an understanding of B. juncea adaptation to
environmental stress. This crop may further be useful in soil reclamation through the
process of phytoremediation. However, selection of B. juncea would be of great importance
to reclaim the soil with lesser impact on plant metabolism and hence the yield.
