Abstract
Lead has been redistributed from earth’s surface to land and atmosphere as a consequence of industrialization, urbanization, mining and a variety of other anthropogenic actions. lead is anon- essential trace element. Its higher levels of exposure disrupt plant water and nutritional relationships, as well as causing oxidative damage. Pb association with enzymatic activities leads to membrane disruption and stomatal closure, reduced seed germination and plant growth in stressed plants. The current study focused on lead toxicity in cereals and management techniques to reduce the amount of it absorbed by plants. Growing of low lead accumulating varieties could lower the risk of pb accumulation in plants and humans through the food chain. Plant growth regulators, micro-organisms both organic and inorganic amendments may all be effective methods that have capability to minimize Pb levels even more in grain and the shoot.
