Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of water solution lead sulfate (PbSO4) of concentrations 0.1 and 1% on the broad beans (Vicia faba L.) seeds with and without the seed coat and the growth of plants which grew from them. The seeds germination, the length of roots and shoots, the fresh and dry mass and the water content in plants were measured. It was found that salts of lead decreased the germination energy and strength of broad bean seeds, inhibited the growth of roots in the presence of and without the seed coat. The length of the shoot was significantly inhibited in plants grown from seeds without the seed coat on 0.1 and 1% PbSO4. The shoots of plants grown from the seeds with a seed coat were only less at 1% PbSO4. Growth reduction of fresh and dry mass of broad bean plants was observed together with PbSO4 concentration increase. The biggest differences in the water content were demonstrated in the leaves of broad bean plants. The obtained data suggest that plants grown from the seeds with the seed coat are more tolerant to lead.
