  abstract = {{L}ead is a heavy metal of particular concern with respect to environmental quality and health. {T}he lack of plant species that accumulate and tolerate {P}b is a limiting factor to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in {P}b tolerance. {I}n this study we identified {H}irschfeldia incana, a {B}rassicaceae collected from metalliferous mine spoils in {M}orocco, as a {P}b accumulator plant. {H}. incana exhibited high {P}b accumulation in mine soils and in hydroponic cultures. {M}ajor {P}b accumulation occurred in the roots and a part of {P}b translocated from the roots to the shoots, even to the siliques. {T}hese findings demonstrated that {H}. incana is a {P}b accumulator species. {T}he expression of several candidate genes after {P}b-exposure was measured by quantitative {PCR} and two of them, {H}i{HMA}4 and {H}i{MT}2a, coding respectively for a {P}1{B}-type {ATP}ase and a metallothionein, were particularly induced by {P}b-exposure in both roots and leaves. {T}he functional characterization of {H}i{HMA}4 and {H}i{MT}2a was achieved using {A}rabidopsis {T}-{DNA} insertional mutants. {P}b content and primary root growth analysis confirmed the role of these two genes in {P}b tolerance and accumulation. {H}. incana could be considered as a good experimental model to identify genes involved in lead tolerance and accumulation in plants.},
