Purpose The formation of iron plaques and their ability to sequester heavy metals are influenced by soil properties and rice genotype. Lead accumulation in paddy soil is increasing, but in order to assess soil suitability for rice cultivation, a better understanding of the effects of iron plaques on Pb uptake by paddy rice is needed.
