Differences in stress defence mechanisms in germinating seeds of Pinus sylvestris exposed to various lead chemical forms.
Exposure to lead (Pb) can have serious toxic effects on the physiological and biochemical processes of plants. The chemical form of the metal determines the degree of its toxicity. In our research, we examined the effect of lead in the form of lead nitrate [Pb(NO3)2] and lead chloride (PbCl2) in con...
