- Intervention effect The two Cd doses reduced root dry weight by 32.2% and 33.33%, respectively.
- Intervention effect Cd accumulated in roots 125- and 173-fold above control for the two doses.
- Intervention effect Cd accumulated in shoots 125- and 150-fold above control for the two doses.
- Intervention effect Iron accumulated in roots 1.45- and 1.69-fold above control.
- Intervention effect Chlorophyll a declined by 25.52 and 24.83% under the Cd doses.
- Intervention effect Cd 100 reduced chlorophyll b by 6.90%.
- Intervention effect Carotenoids declined by 40.39 and 38.36% under Cd.
