ABSTRACT To explore the wheat seedling development and physiological responses under copper contami nation and enhanced ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiation, 10 mg · L -1 CuCl 2 solution was irrigated to Triticum aestivum L. cv. Linyuan 2069 one day after germination with or without ultraviolet-B (10.08 kJ m -2 ·d -1 ) light exposure, respectively. The results showed that Cu 2+ and UV-B caused var ious adverse effects on wheat seedling development. Cu 2+ hindered root deve...
