Abstract:
The effects of different concentrations of Zn, Pb and Cd singly as well as in the combination of zinc-lead, zinc-cadmium and lead-cadmium on the shoot root length and dry mass as well as chlorophyll contents of barley plants during early seedling growth were studied. The effects of different concentrations of Zn x Pb and Pb x Cd in combinations showed a synergistic relationship, while at higher concentrations the relationship was antagonistic. Lower as well as higher Zn x Cd concentrations showed antagonistic effects.

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
