An assessment of in vitro lead (Pb) bioaccumulation of Dianthus chinensis L. (Chinese pink).

Heavy metals (HM) also known as potentially toxic elements (PTEs), are well-known environmental pollutants, among which lead (Pb) is a widespread and hazardous soil contaminant. Its removal from soil sediments is often difficult to achieve. In this study, in vitro experiments were conducted to investigate the bioaccumulation capability of Dianthus chinensis L.
