| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to evaluate the role of two oxytetracycline levels (100 and 200 ppm) on growth and metabolism of Triticum aestivum (cultivar Masr1) at the vegetative stage (65 days from sowing).The results revealed that the determined growth parameters (length of shoot and root as well as fresh and dry weights and water percentage of shoot and root), pigments content (chl a, chl b and carotenoids), carbohydrates content (glucose, sucrose, total soluble sugars and starch), nitrogen fractions and protein level increased significantly in response to oxytetracycline treatments especially in case of 200 ppm. Plant nitrogen and potassium contents increased but that of phosphorous, as well as the antioxidant enzymes (polyphenoloxidase, peroxidase and catalase), decreased upon oxytetracycline treatments. | ||
