Influence of lead on N03 uptake and reduction in cucumber seedlings

The influence of PbCl2 on NO3- uptake and activity level of nitrate (NR) and nitrite MR) reductases in cotyledons and roots of cucumber seedlings was studied. PbCl2 in a 10-5 M concentration decreased by 50 per cent N03 uptake and reduced NR and NiR activity in vivo. In in vitro experiments only hi...
