Genotoxicity and Cytotoxicity Induced in <i>Zygophyllum fabago</i> by Low Pb Doses Depends on the Population’s Redox Plasticity

Lead (Pb) soil contamination remains a major ecological challenge. <i>Zygophyllum fabago</i> is a candidate for the Pb phytostabilisation of mining tailings; nevertheless, the cytogenotoxic effects of low doses of Pb on this species are still unknown. Therefore, <i>Z. fabago</i&...
