Plants normally change their physiological and biochemical properties when exposed to heavy metal stress. We investigated the response of Orthosiphon stamineus towards different concentrations of Pb (0, 2, 5, 8 mg/L) and Cu (1, 2, 4, 5 mg/L). Heavy metals left in soil, plant physical characteristics...
