e0“High Cd dose (8 and 16 mg/kg) can inhibit, or even reverse the transfer of soluble sugar and nitrogen from stems to seeds, which probably resulted in the decrease of yield and starch accumulation in the seeds.”

- Intervention effect High soil Cd doses decreased concentrations of chlorophyll in leaves.
- Intervention effect High soil Cd doses decreased nitrogen in stems.
- Intervention effect High soil Cd doses increased soluble sugar content in leaves and stems.
- Association The Cd effects strengthened with dose and exposure time.
- Intervention effect High soil Cd inhibited or reversed transfer of soluble sugar.
- Intervention effect High soil Cd inhibited or reversed nitrogen from stems to seeds.
- Mechanism The altered transfer probably decreased starch accumulation in the seeds.
- Observation Maize readily absorbs Cd from soil.
- Observation At the stated soil Cd concentration, seeds cannot be used as food.
