Abstract
The effect of arsenic (32 – 96 µM) on the phosphorus content and Chl fluorescence was studied in soybean (Glycine max Merril) grown in the nutrient solution with and without phosphorus. The increased concentration of As led to the decrease in P content in plant organs. Parameters of Chl fluorescence of soybean leaves in the presence of these As concentrations did not show significant changes.
