Abstract
adding malondialdehyde (MDA) and antioxidant enzymes. Thyme can be used as a low-accumulating medicinal plant with any concentration of the heavy metal Pb. These results are of great significance for understanding the chemical behaviors of heavy metals at the root/soil interface under Cd and Pb stress and the detoxification mechanisms of medicinal plants.
