  abstract = {{L}ead ({P}b) is one of the most harmful toxic metals and causes severe damage to plants even at low concentrations. {P}b inhibits plant development, reduces photosynthesis rates, and causes metabolic disfunctions. {P}lant cells display these alterations in the form of abnormal morphological modifications resulting from ultrastructural changes in the cell wall, plasma membrane, chloroplast, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and nuclei. {D}epending on plant tolerance capacity, the ultrastructural changes could be either a sign of toxicity that limits plant development or an adaptive strategy to cope with {P}b stress. {T}his paper gathers data on {P}b-induced changes in cell ultrastructure observed in many tolerant and hyperaccumulator plants and describes the ultrastructural changes that appear to be mechanisms to alleviate {P}b toxicity. {T}he different modifications caused by {P}b in cell organelles are summarized and reinforced with hypotheses that provide an overview of plant responses to {P}b stress and explain the physiological and morphological changes that occur in tolerant plants. {T}hese ultrastructural modifications could help assess the potential of plants for use in phytoremediation.},
