Abstract:Earlier research indicates that the presence of the lead in the soil demonstrates inhibitory influence on mitosis, meiosis, fertility and the complete growth and development of the plant.Thus this experiment aimed to investigate the influence of known concentrations of lead applied as Pb(NO 3 ) 2 , on the mitotic cycle and fertility of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).
