Abstract
The composition of the main lipid classes in leaves, pericarp and seed s of pepper (Capsicum annuum L), and the effect of seedlings immersion in lead and sodium acetate nutrient solutions were investigated. Lead ions acumulated mainly in leaves; in pericarp and seeds the concentra tion of lead was more than 10 times lower. The influence of lead ions on the leaf lipid composition was expressed most in the last stages of plant development. Treatment with lead acetate caused a decrease in t he activity of the antioxidative complex in pepper seeds.
