Abstract

The dinitrophenol is an agent which enters frequently in the pesticides’ component, used largely in the practices of maintaining the agricultural cultures and management. The toxicity mechanism of these pesticides, acknowledged metabolic modulators, was discussed strongly correlated with the germinative faculty of wheat seeds, the Secuieni genre, but also with the level of photosynthetic and carotenoids pigments, respectively, the enzymes’ activity of oxidative stress (the peroxidase, the superoxide-dismutase and the catalase). The analyze of experimental results signalize the negative impact of dinitrophenol, but also of KIO3 (used like chemical agent of comparison for testing the toxicity degree of dinitrophenol) on seeds, respectively on Triticumaestivum seedlings, using like reference swatches, plots treated with distilled water.

Key Words   
wheat, dinitrophenol, KIO3, germination, chlorophyllien and carotenoid pigments, oxidative stress e
