Abstract

The problem of lead contamination was considered. Lead contamination of plants is a result of intensive development of transport and industry. It is shown that by suppressing growth processes and formation of chlorophyll (a + b) at the -initial stage of ontogenesis, lead is a strong stressor for summer wheat. Selenium influences the resistance of wheat to stress induced by lead exposure, which indicates the protective function of this trace mineral.

Keywords

lead, selenium, the initial stage of ontogenesis, summer wheat, growth processes.
