Abstract
This paper studied the effects of cadmium pollution on physiological and biochemical characteristics of cucumber by hydroponic solutions culture. The results showed that the content of chlorophyll and the ratio of chlorophyll-a and chlorophyll-b in cucumber seedlings decreased significantly, the cell membrane permeability of leaves increased substantially, the content of malondialdehyde(MDA) increased significantly, and the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) rised firstly and fell laterly,but the activity of peroxidase(POD) increasted gradually.
