Abstract: By using vertical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the effects of three heavy metals at different concentrations on the peroxidase isozymes of barley root cells were studied. The results indicated that after 24 h treatment with 10-4mol/LCd2+ and Hg2+, one additional band (Rf=0.36) increased for each treatment, but a band (Rf=0.80) was missing in the former comparison with the control. After the treatment with 10-6mol/L Hg2+ for 48h, the treatment group added another band (Rf=0.36). The activites of peroxidase isozymes were changed greatly at rest concentrations ofCd2+、Hg2+ and 10-4~10-8mol/L Ni2+ treatment groups. It suggested that Hg2+ andCd2+ have stronger effects on the peroxidase isozymes than Ni2+ and the degree of effects of heavy metals on the peroxidase isozymes is dependent on their concentrations and treatment durations.
