Influence of lead on the chlorophyll content and on initial steps of its synthesis in greening cucumber seedlings

Lead uptake by young cucumber (Couches satires L.) seedlings growing in 10-4 and 10-3 M PbCl2 solution caused δ-aminolevulinic acid synthesis inhibition, reduced the activity of δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase and the chlorophyll centent in the cotyledons.
