The pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of lead,especially at low levels,in Nanjing and Beijing soils on the growth of Brassica campestris SSP.chinensis Makino.Results show that the texture of soil and lead pollution had effects to a certainty on the growth of Brassica campestris SSP.chinensis Makino.Lead content in plant presented an increase-to-decrease trend with the rising concentration of soil lead.Under the treated concentration of lead at 100 mg/kg,the growth of Brassica campestris SSP.chinensis Makino was inhibited and the content of lead in the plant was higher than control groups.
