【Objective】 The present experiment was conducted to study the phytoremediation properties of Morus alba L. and Zenia insignis Chun seedlings， facilitated by EDTA treatments. 【Method】 A nutrient culture experiment was set up by culturing the Morus alba L. and Zenia insignis Chun seedlings in Hoagland solution （4 L/pot） containing 0.55 mmol/L EDTA. The Pb2+ was supplemented in graded concentrations（0， 2.5， 5.0， 10.0， 25.0， 50.0， 100.0， 150.0， 200.0， and 250.0 mg/L） in different pots， the control was maintained without adding EDTA. 【Result】 The results showed that the absorption and accumulation of Pb2+ in both plants increased gradually with increasing of the Pb2+ concentration in the solution. Under the same Pb2+ concentration， the absorption of Pb2+ in plants with EDTA treatment was significantly higher than the control. The concentration of Pb2+ was found more in roots than that in stem and leaves of both plants. However， EDTA treatment was found to accelerate the transport of Pb2+ from root to stem and leaves. With increasing the concentration of Pb2+ in solution， it was accumulated more in roots compared to stem and leaves. 【Conclusion】 Both plants showed strong Pb tolerance， and EDTA was found to accelerate the Pb2+ absorption. These plants may be used in phytoremediation of the Pb contaminated soils.
