New Insight into Short Time Exogenous Formaldehyde Application Mediated Changes in L. (Spider Plant) Cellular Metabolism.

L. plants are known to effectively absorb air pollutants, including formaldehyde (HCHO). Since the metabolic and defense responses of to HCHO are poorly understood, in the present study, biochemical changes in leaves induced by 48 h exposure to exogenous HCHO, applied as 20 mg m, were analyzed.
