The effect of Lead on early stages ofPhaseolus vulgaris L. growthin vitro conditions

Lead chloride (10-5 M) inhibited the growth of the main root, the duration of development, the number and growth of lateral roots, primary and trifoliate leaves, and also the mitotic index in root apical meristems. Lead strongly inhibited root growth rate, mainly by reducing the number of dividing cells. Other mechanisms of this inhibition are discussed.
