Descrição: Plants of chickpea were exposed to varied levels of cobalt (Co) and sampled at the 60-day stage. Cobalt at concentration <100 µM significantly increased the number of nodules, their dry mass, leghemoglobin concentration and the activity of nitrogenase. Similarly, the activities of glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase also exhibited an increase in the presence of Co <100 µM, in nodules and leaves, respectively. The various photosynthetic attributes in leaves and the activity of antioxidative enzymes both in nodules and leaves were inhibited by Co in a concentration-dependent manner. However, the lipid peroxidation and the content of proline exhibited a significant increase in response to Co and were at a maximum in the plants exposed to 250 µM concentration of cobalt. Since most of the parameters showed a significant increase in response to 50 µM cobalt, this concentration may be regarded as a threshold concentration.
