Abstract

This study was intended to obtain information about the effects of simulated acid rain on grape leaves.The leaves treated with simulatd acid rain of pH 3.5 , 2.5 and 2.0 showed visible injury spots to various extent and reduction in chlorophyll content and net photosynthetic rate.Treatment with simulated acid rain caused decrease in SOD activity and index of unsaturated fatty acids,and increase in MDA content,cell membrane permeability and the rate of ethylene production.
