A Master Thesis at Basrah University Explores the Impact of Plant Growth in Polluted Soil Conditions

A master's thesis conducted in College of Agriculture, University of Basrah, investigated the effects of putrescine on the growth and various biochemical characteristics of Indian almond and Leucaena plants in soil contaminated with heavy metals.

The study, presented by researcher Noor Hussein, aimed to understand the role of putrescine in enhancing the resistance of Indian almond and Leucaena plants to pollution from trace elements.

The research involved applying different concentrations of putrescine to both Indian almond and Leucaena plants. The thesis concluded that the addition of putrescine significantly increased the Indian almond plant's ability to resist heavy metal pollution at high concentrations compared to the Leucaena plant.
