Heavy metals are one of the most important pollutants released to the aquatic environment by the various industrial activities. The use of these wastewater for irrigation results accumulation of heavy metals in soil and plants. So, the present investigation deals with the various concentrations (0, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 300 mg/l) of copper and zinc on germination studies of soybean. The different concentrations of copper and zinc were used for germination studies. The seedlings were allowed to grow upto seven days. The studied morphological traits increased at 5 mg/l concentration and these parameters are gradually decreased with the increase of copper and zinc concentrations.

Background: Agricultural research chiefly focuses on the ways to increase productivity of staple food crops like wheat and rice, but still there are crops where research focus is meagre like nutritionally important mungbean crop grown by marginal farmers in crop rotation systems. Mungbean is leguminous crop which is high in protein content thus it offers health benefits at cheaper rates. The present work emphasizes on finding genetic diversity in mungbean germplasm on the basis of chemical and molecular analysis for micronutrients variation (iron and zinc). The identified molecular markers having linkage with high iron and zinc concentrations in the seeds can prove helpful in expansion of biofortification programme.Methods: Fifty-one green gram genotypes viz. varieties released from CCS Haryana Agricultural University (HAU), Hisar, Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana, Indian Institute of Pulse Research (IIPR), Kanpur and some advanced breeding lines were included in the study. Acid digested samples were used for determination of Fe and Zn by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Young seedlings leaves were used for isolation of genomic DNA using 2% CTAB (cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide). Result: Total of fifty-one mungbean genotypes were tested using fifty simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers. Out of fifty primers screened, 16 primers generated 35 bands. Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in mungbean lines was 36.90 to 107.1 mg/kg and 14.2 to 53.8 mg/kg respectively. The molecular studies based on SSR markers also indicates existence of ample genetic diversity at molecular level.

In most demersal and some pelagic marine fish O- and I-group stages are found on inshore nursery grounds which are often situated in coastal indentations and estuarieswhere flushing rates are low and the build up of persistent pollutants can be correspondingly high. Their movements are restricted, only leaving the nursery areas towards the end of their second year (Lockwood, 1974; Riley, 1973). This, coupled with the fact that juveniles may be more susceptible than adults to pollutants, makes them particularly vulnerable to the potential hazards of inshore pollution.The physico-chemical properties of most trace metals, however, generally preclude their occurrence at high concentrations in sea water itself. Instead, most of the metal is transferred to the particulate phase of the water mass and to sedimentary reservoirs (Renfro, 1973) so that concentrations of metals in sea water very rarely reach levels which are known to be acutely toxic to fish. The main risk from direct effects of metals lies in poisoning resulting from internal accumulation.Little information is available on metal concentrations occurring in young fish. Hardisty et al. (1974) and Hardisty, Kartar & Sainsbury (1974) have examined zinc, cadmium and lead levels in O-group and older flounders from the Bristol Channel. Andersen, Dommasnes & Hesthagen (1973) found high concentrations of zinc in O- and I-group herring and sprat from Oslo Fjord, Cross & Brooks (1973) reported on manganese, iron and zinc concentrations in juvenile estuarine fish. Pentreath (1973 b) has reported on zinc concentrations in the organs of I-group plaice.
