Salt has been shown to affect cadmium (Cd) translocation and accumulation in plants, but the associated mechanisms are unclear. Cheng et al. report a hydroponic experiment to examine the effects of salt type and...
Salinity affects plant growth and metabolites in plants, which in turn affect Cd accumulation. Cheng et al. ran a hydroponic experiment to assess the effect of NaCl on the metabolic response to Cd and Cd accumulation in...
Calcium (Ca) and the toxic heavy metal cadmium (Cd) are antagonistic ions competing for uptake in plants when they co-occur in soil solutions, and high Ca concentrations can reduce the uptake of Cd in plants. However...
