TLDR
In this article, the uptake, translocation, and effect of lead and cadmium in corn, soybeans, and several other agronomic species was reviewed, and it was shown that Cadmium is more toxic to both corn and soybeans than is Pb, and that soybeans are more susceptible to both Cd and Pb than is corn.About:

Heavy metals in soils : trace metals and metalloids in soils and their bioavailability
TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined the sources of heavy metals and metalloids in Soils and derived methods for the determination of Heavy Metals and Metalloids in soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lead toxicity in plants
TL;DR: In this article, a review addresses various morphological, physiological and biochemical effects of Pb toxicity and also strategies adopted by plants for Pb-detoxification and developing tolerance to Pb.

Lead phytoextraction: species variation in lead uptake and translocation
J. W. Huang,S. D. Cunningham +1 more
TL;DR: corn accumulated the highest shoot Pb concentration reported in the literature for plants grown on Pb-contaminated soils, which suggests that in combination with sou amendment, some agronomic crops, such as corn, might be used for the clean-up of Pb

Inhibition of photosynthesis by heavy metals.
Herman Clijsters,F. Van Assche +1 more
TL;DR: In this review the results are compared between in vitro experiments on isolated systems, experiments on excised leaves and intact plants and algae in vivo, and potential sites of heavy metal interaction with photosynthesis at several levels of organisation, which are not necessarily confirmed in vivo.

Cadmium and zinc interactions and their transfer in soil-crop system under actual field conditions
TL;DR: The effects of the two metals were synergistic to each other under field conditions, in which increasing Cd and Zn contents in soils could increase the accumulations of Zn or Cd in the two crops.

Heavy metal tolerance in plants
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors illustrate the literature on those plants and micro-organisms which can combat excessive quantities of heavy metal ions, which are poisonous and can cause death of most living organisms.

Contamination of roadside soil and vegetation with cadmium, nickel, lead, and zinc
John V. Lagerwerff,A. W. Specht +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that high CONCENTRATIONS of one METAL in the soil do not NECESSARILY degrade with distance from the road with other METALS.
