Heavy metal accumulation and changes in phenylpropanoid metabolism induced by mining activities in leaves of Pinus nigra and Pinus eldarica
Plants can absorb pollutants produced through industrial activities.In this research, biochemistry and lignin biosynthesis processes are studied in Pinus nigra and P.eldarica trees, that were exposed to pollutants from Sarcheshmeh copper complex and from the Kentuiyeh ascontrol area (both Iran).Needles were collected in areas adjacent to mining fac
