Abstract
In the majority of cases, grain pretreatment with kinetin increased photosynthetic pigments, photosynthetic activity, Hill reaction as well as carbohydrate contents in leaves of cadmium-treated sorghum plants. Furthermore, the observed decrease in yield and yield attributes of sorghum plants in response to cadmium treatments was accelerated particularly when grains were presoaked in kinetin. The ameliorating effect of kinetin was more pronounced at 12 mM cadmium chloride. Grain priming with kinetin increased grain biomass, carbohydrates, protein and ion contents in yielded grains of cadmiumtreated sorghum plants. Cadmium chloride at all the used concentrations exerted a significant decrease in 3 growth promotor levels [ indole acetic acid (IAA), giberellic acid (GA ) and total cytokinins] with an increase in abscisic acid (ABA). On the other hand, grain priming with kinetin increased the growth promotory substances and reduced abscisic acid levels.
