Description	In this study, the influence of lead (II) ions on sunflower growth and biochemistry was investigated from various points of view. Sunflower plants were treated with 0, 10, 50, 100 and/or 500 mu M Pb-EDTA for eight days. We observed alterations in growth in all experimental groups compared with non-treated control plants.
