Abstract: The tropic and subtropics region Sugarcane is one of the most important cash crops. Crystal
sugar mainly made from Sugarcane. Lower amounts of Nickel caused a conspicuous increase of plant
growth in sugarcane Cultivar 2.0 and 4.0mM of protein and nickel content increased in leaves of
Sugarcane. The most extreme abatement in sugar of 85.1% was seen at 4.0 mM portion of nickel. Younger
leaves of lead treated plants showed greatest impact through yellowing of leaf and decreased leaf region
and bowing of edge of leaf in sugarcane plants. Restraint in the growth of sugarcane plants was begun even
at 1.0 mM portion of Pb. At 4.0 mM portion of Pb 15 folds decrease of sugar content was noticed. Protein
content of this plant showed positive reactions with supply of 1.0 to 4.0 mM centralization of Pb. The
grouping of chlorophyll 'a' and 'b' was additionally diminished with increasing convergence of nickel.
Chlorophyll 'a' was more delicate at all centralization of Ni than chlorophyll 'b'. All out chlorophyll items
in sugarcane plant was invigorated at 1.0 mM of this metal. The convergence of 'a', 'b' and absolute
chlorophyll in leaves of sugarcane plants diminished altogether with increasing levels of lead. Pheophytin
additionally showed same pattern with nickel, aside from pheophytin'b' at 1.0 mM fixation. The plants that
were developed at 2.0 mM dose of nickel gave least action of this catalyst when contrasted with control.
Action of α, β what's more, absolute amylase in plant leaves expanded at expanding concentration of nickel.
Catalase movement was viewed as diminished at abundance portions of lead. Greatest decrease in catalase
action was estimated at 2.0 mM of Pb. Activity of α, β what's more, absolute amylase showed variable
outcomes with various expanding grouping of lead in sugarcane plants. α- amylase had non significant
response at 1.0 and 4.0 mM portion of Pb and inhibitory impact at 2.0 mM convergence of Pb. Action of β-
amylase repressed at 1.0 and 4.0 mM of Pb and stimulated at 2.0 mM fixation.
I. INTRODUCTION
The term heavy metals refers to any metallic element that has a relatively high density and is toxic or poisonous even at
low concentration ( Lenntech Water Treatment and Air Purification 2004).Heavy metals include lead (Pb), cadmium
(Cd), nickel (Ni),cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe),arsenic (As),silver(Ag)and the platinum
group elements. Heavy metals are largely found in dispersed form in rock formations. Industrializations and
urbanization have increased the anthropogenic contribution of heavy metals in biosphere. Heavy metal toxicity in plants
varies with plant species, specific metal, concentration, chemical form and soil composition and pH, as many heavy
metals are considered to be essential for plant growth.
Lead continues to be used widely in many industrial processes and occurs as a contaminant in all environmental
compartments (soils, water, the atmosphere, and living organisms).Trace elements including nickel are present in
different chemical forms because they are associated to diverse organic and inorganic components of the soils such a
Nutrition Facts
1. Sugarcane contains various essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and potassium.
2. Sugarcane juice is rich in flavonoid and phenolic compounds which are powerful antioxidants that prevent cell
damage by free radicals and reduce risk of cancer and heart disease.
3. It has a low glycemic index between 30-40, about half that of refined sugar. It has no simple sugars. The sugar
is in raw form.
4. Sugarcane juice is easily digestible, provides instant energy and hydrates the body.
5. Sugarcane juice is alkaline, contains soluble fiber, proteins and vitamins A, C and Bcomplex.

Protein content
The amount of protein present in the between samples (A&C) were observed as 0.6mg, 0.4mg respectively .The protein
concentration is very low, when compared with control. Control showed higher protein content than sample (Fig 4).
However, a continous decrease in protein content with increase in metal stress was observed. Heavymetals caused
significant decrease in growth and protein content. Protein content decreased in metals exposed plants at metals
concentration observed by Abdul Ghani(2011)in wheat.
Chlorophyll content
The chlorophyll content was higher in control sample. It was decreased with increase in metal stress(Fig 5).Excess of
nickel in soil causes various physiological alterations and diverse toxicity symptoms such as chlorsis&necrosis in
different plant species(Zornozaetal.d1999)
Phenol content
The total phenol content was gradually decreased with progressing metal stress. However contrasting results were
observed in phenol level in comparing with control(Fig 6). In metal stress plants reduction in phenol content was
observed by ( yingli yang(2011)in wheat.
V. CONCLUSION
In the present investigation, it is concluded that lead and nickel concentration.It was observed that produced toxic
impact on germination and growth of saccharumofficinarum (Sugarcane) plants as compared to control .Seedling
growth is considered as an indicator of metals stress on plant vigor. This shows that vegetable crops have the ability to
uptake the heavy metals through their roots and transport them to the edible portion of the plant that are consumed by
people or fed to animals. Then increased concentration in human food chain over a long time can provoke detectable
damage to health effect.
