N2  - Phytotoxic effects of Pb as Pb(NO3)2  and silver nanoparticles on Mung bean (Vigna radiata) planted on contaminated soil was assessed in terms of growth, yield, chlorophyll pigments, phenol and flavonoid content at 120 ppm concentration. Experiments were carried out with 4 treatments in 10 days. Treatments were including (T1) control, (T2) silver nanoparticles (50 ppm), (T3) Pb as Pb (NO3)2 (120 ppm) and (T4) silver nanoparticles (50 ppm) plus Pb as Pb(NO 3)2 (120  ppm).  Regarding  the  pigment  content,  silver  nanoparticles-treated  plants  showed  a remarkable  increase  of  chlorophyll.  The  loss  of  chlorophyll  content  was  associated  with disturbance  in  photosynthetic  capacity  which  ultimately  results  in  the  reduction  of  Vigna radiate growth.Pb caused a fall in the total content of phenols, while the content of flavonoid not significantly changed. The minimum decrease in root length, weight of root fresh and stem fresh was observed in T4 group, but this factors increased in the other treatments. Also, length of stem and seedling height decreased in control group. Increase length and fresh weight of stem  in  Pb-treated  plants  suggest  that  compatible  solutes  may  contribute  to  osmotic adjustment  at  the  cellular  level  and  enzyme  protection  stabilizing  the  structure  of macromolecules and organelles.
