Salsola crassa . is one of the most successful plants used against industrial pollutants. In this study, we selected young Salsola crassa . plants from their natural habitats. Some plants were irrigated with industrial wastewater containing Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pb, and Zn, and others were irrigated with tap water for 3–4 months. Afterwards, the shoots and roots were randomly cut, separated, fixed, dyed, and observed using light microscopy. Structural changes were analyzed by stereology. There were some differences in appearance and structure between the treated and control samples. For example, the number of leaves and flowers and the size of seeds and flowers in the treated plants were reduced. |
