title: [The resistance of plants Setaria veridis (L.) Beauv. to the influence of cadmium].
abstract: It was shown that cadmium causes a slowdown of green foxtail Setaria veridis (L.) Beauv. shoots; however it had no effect on root growth or accumulation of underground and above-ground biomass. In the analysis of the effect of cadmium on the water regime and photosynthesis of plants, it was found that it had a negative effect on the stomatal-apparatus, which led to a decrease in the transpiration rate and stomatal conductance. It was noted that the water content of tissues, as well as the rate of photosynthesis in the presence of cadmium, reinained at the level of those in'control planrits. A high resistance of green foxtail to the effects of cadmium was established, which is provided with different adaptive mechanisms and anatomical and physiologicdal characteristics associated with its affiliation to the group of C4-plants.
