Lead uptake by young cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) seedlings growing in 10 exp. (-4) and 10 exp. (-3) MPbC12 solution caused delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase and the chlorophyll content in the cotyledons. Lead mainly accumulated in the roots (ca 93-96% of Pb uptake) and hypocotyls (ca 4-6%) whereas only trace Pb amounts were found in the cotyledons when 10 exp. (-3) M solution was used. The direct effect of lead on the examined steps of chlorophyll synthesis cannot, however, be ruled out
