Popis: Understanding the functional role of zinc interaction during cadmium-induced oxidative changes and photosynthetic response in the leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris plant was central in this study, as driven by Box-Behnken Design (BBD), a typified Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The design considered 0–50 mg each of CdCl2 and ZnCl2 per kilogram of soil contaminated daily in a time-dependent process, and for the post-germination of P. vulgaris seeds, malondialdehyde (MDA) level, ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity and total chlorophyll content (TCC) were evaluated in seventeen “experimental runs” for nine weeks of study. The findings from the RSM-BBD study indicated significant generation (p
