The research work has been focused on the morphological studies of the leaf tissues in the green leafy vegetables (GLVs) namely mustard (Brassica juncea), fenugreek (Trigonellafoenum), sirukeerai (Amaranthuspolygonoides), araikeerai (Amaranthustristis) and agati (Sesbania grandiflora).The prepared sections from the GLVs grown on fresh water as control revealed properly formed tissues. There was no pathological death observed for all the tissues. A clear view was not revealed in leaves of the GLVs exposed to the crude silk dyeing effluent. In leaf tissues of GLVs grown in biotreated effluent were histologically observed and they are similar as that of the GLVs grown in fresh water. The study confirms the effluent’s impact has been countered by the biofertilizers of Pseudomonas fluorescens as it has the ability to decolorize the silk dyeing effluent. Thus Pseudomonas fluorescens biotreated silk dyeing industrial effluent can be used for the growth of plants.
