Abstract	Responses of tobacco and cotton seedlings to two chemical forms of Ag at various concentrations were studied. Cotton exhibited higher resistance than tobacco to Ag. The application of 1 μg L−1 Ag, as AgI or AgNO3, induced no toxicity symptoms in the growth and photosynthesis of cotton. However, the corresponding concentration negatively affected the growth and physiology of tobacco. On exposure to higher Ag concentrations (103 and 5 × 103μg L−1 as AgNO3), root growth and concentrations of Ca, Mg, K, and Fe were significantly depressed, whereas concomitant Ag accumulation, especially in roots, was increased in both species. The loss of nutrients and chlorophyll was associated with disturbances in photosynthetic function. Because there was no apparent change in Fv/Fm, there is a possibility that the faster rise time was due to an increase in LHC size to the PSII reaction centers. The decreased Fv/Fo reflects the inactivation of chlorophyll associated with the PSII reaction center. Stomatal conductance was decreased less than the CO2 assimilation, possibly due to the direct and/or indirect effects of Ag ions on stomatal guard cells. After the plants were transferred from the highest Ag concentration to a nutrient solution, recovery of tobacco, cotton morphology, and physiology were observed.
