Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation On average L. indica was more tolerant of Cd than L. fauriei.
- Observation The leaves of L. indica had higher Cd concentrations than those of L. fauriei.
- Observation The roots of L. fauriei had higher Cd concentrations than those of L. indica.
- Observation Roots, shoots and leaves of both species had bioaccumulation factors markedly above 1.0, except for shoots at 80 mg/kg in L. fauriei.
- Observation The leaf translocation factor of L. indica was greater than 1.0 and significantly higher than that of L. fauriei.
- Intervention effect Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll declined significantly in both species when Cd concentrations exceeded 40 mg/kg.
- Intervention effect Lipid peroxidation and proline content increased with increasing Cd concentration in both species.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that both species could be excellent species for remediating Cd-contaminated soils.
