Preferred Abstract (Original): 

The effect of root‐treatment of cauliflower, spinach, and parsley plants with lead and cadmium were studied. Both metal ions showed obvious growth inhibition of treated plants with cadmium having higher toxicity on growth than lead.
Cadmium was more concentrated in the edible parts of the three treated plants whereas lead was more concentrated in the edible parts of cauliflower and spinach plants only.
Metal ion concentrations and total metal ion content of treated plants increased with the increase of concentration of cadmium or lead ions in solutions used for treatment. The uptake of metal ion per unit concentration decreased in treated plants with the increase of concentration of cadmium or lead ions in solutions used for treatment.
Metal ion concentration and metal uptake were higher in the plants treated with cadmium than those treated with lead.

Preferred Abstract (Original): 
The effect of copper and zinc ions as growth ‐ inhibitors of plants was studied by the root‐treatment of cauliflower, parsley and spinach plants. Both copper and zinc showed an obvious growth‐inhibition effect on the growth of the studied plants as well as on their various parts.The sensitivities of cauliflower, parsley and spinach plants towards treatment with copper and zinc solutions were compared between each other as well as between their various parts.The toxicity effects of zinc and copper on the growth of plants were compared. Copper showed higher toxic effect on the growth of treated cauliflower, spinach and parsley plants as well as on the growth of the various parts of treated plants.
