contents and electrolyte leakage with reduced chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoid content. Upon exposure to HMs increased antioxidant enzyme activities (CAT, POX, GST, APX, and SOD) were noted. Though selected HMs can be removed by using P. hybrida L., the findings of current study indicated that the direct exposure of P. hybrida L. to Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb damaged the plant's aesthetics, and to use P. hybrida L. for beautification of urban landscape or phytoremediation, appropriate soil modification should be included.
