Abstract
► We studied germination of 50 plants in kerosene-contaminated leached chernozem. ► It decreased in the range of families: Fabaceae > Brassicaceae > Asteraceae > Poaceae. ► Tested wild plants were more sensitive to kerosene than cultivated. ► The degree of plant tolerance did not correlate to the mass of seeds. ► Structure of testa and germ and type of storage compounds were more important.
