Krzeslowska, M; Lenartowska, M; Mellerowicz, Ewa; Samardakiewicz, S; Wozny, A

Abstract

The findings substantiate previous hypotheses that lead ions can be sequestered in cell walls and point to the possibility that capacity for lead binding might increase in cell response to lead. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
