[Combined stress of enhanced UV-B radiation and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene contamination on the growth of green vegetable].

A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of UV-B radiation enhancement alone, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB) contamination soil alone, and the combined stress on the growing process, stomatal resistance and leaf structure of green vegetable. The results showed that 1,2,4-TCB contamination alone had more significant inhibitory effect on the growth of green vegetable than the combined stress. Both UV-B radiation enhancement and 1,2,4-TCB contamination reduced the stomatal resistance of front and reverse leaves. Enhanced UV-B radiation resulted in the albino of leaves. 1,2,4-TCB contamination resulted in the fading of leaf color and the appearing of black spots on leaf surfaces, and the enhanced UV-B radiation strengthened the black-spot symptom. In conclusion, the effects of UV-B radiation enhancement alone, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB) contamination soil alone and the combined stress on the growth indicators of green vegetable were different.
