Lead toxicity in plants: Impacts and remediation
Lead (Pb) is the second most toxic heavy metal after arsenic (As), which has no role in biological systems. Pb toxicity causes a range of damages to plants from germination to yield formation; however, its toxicity is both time and concentration dependent. Its exposure at higher rates disturbs the plant water and nutritional relations …

Effect of lead stress on mineral content and growth of wheat
From the data for lead concentrations and of dry and fresh weights, we can calculate lead concentrations relative to the plant water content, which shows that plant concentrations are always lower than those of the medium (Fig. 1 A). Of course this is a mean value, and it remains possible that lead concentrations in roots are in fact much ...

Introduction. Lead (Pb) is a heavy metal of anthropogenic origin (Sharma and Dubey, 2005).Pb is a pollutant that accumulates in soils, sediments, and water and is extremely persistent in the environment (Traunfeld and Clement, 2001).Pb has no biological function and it is toxic to living organisms even at low concentrations.

Lead accumulation in shoots and roots of plants with Fe was more than plants without Fe. Also, in low concentrations of iron, the amount of iron in shoot increased with the increase of lead concentration in the nutrient solution. The results showed that in lead pollution, iron has a positive effect on investigated traits.

The uptake of lead by plants also depends on other factors including cation exchange capacity, soil composition (e.g., organic matter content, calcium content), metal concentrations, precipitation, light, and temperature. Lead uptake by plants is favored at lower pH values and in soils with low organic carbon content (DeMayo et al, 1982).
