Abstract :
Background and Objective: Selection of resistant species with an ability to make adaptation with the local contaminated site is a key factor in the success of phytoremediation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of Fe, Ni on seed emergence and plant height of Stipacapensis under laboratory conditions. Method: A factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was used. Pollutant substances (iron and nickel) and pollutant concentrations (0, 100, 150, 200ppm) were considered as the first and second factors, respectively. Findings: The results showed that the effect of different amounts of iron and nickel on seed emergence and plant height of Stipacapensis was significant (p <0.01). Germination and growth inhibition of test plant increased with increasing the concentration of elements. Also the effects of element type on seed germination percentage and plant height were significant at 1 and 5% levels, respectively. The highest germination percentage (51.25%) and hight (11.35 cm) was related to iron. The interaction of element type and element concentration had a significant effect (p <0.05) only on seed germination percentage. Maximum and minimum germination percentages were obtained at control and 200 ppm of Ni, respectively. Conclusion: Overall results indicate the negative effects of Fe, Ni on seed germination as well as plant height of Stipacapensis.However, germination of Stipacapensis at the highest concentration of elements, indicate the relatively tolerance of this species to soil contamination elements in this study.
