Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Under short-term Cd exposure, Si did not significantly change the symplastic Cd pathway in roots.
- Intervention effect Si did not change cell wall properties or cell wall-bound Cd in the apoplastic pathway of wheat roots.
- Mechanism Si may delay endodermal suberization of roots, which may promote apoplastic Cd translocation to shoots.
- Intervention effect After long-term Cd stress, cell wall properties and the expression of genes related to Cd influx and transport were unaffected in wheat roots.
- Intervention effect Si up-regulated expression of the Cd efflux-related gene TaTM20 in wheat roots.
- Intervention effect Si repressed apoplastic Cd translocation to shoots in wheat.
