- Observation Cadmium accumulated chiefly in roots.
- Observation Total polyphenols generally declined under cadmium.
- Observation S. ceratophylloides increased caffeic acid derivatives.
- Observation At the highest cadmium exposure, S. officinalis accumulated caffeic acid, lithospermic acid A, quercetin 3-O-glucuronide, and apigenin-O-pentoside.
- Association Polyphenol changes were strongly associated with antioxidant capacity.
- Observation S. ceratophylloides had higher growth sensitivity.
- Observation S. ceratophylloides extracts showed no toxicity to Artemia salina.
- Observation S. officinalis extracts induced moderate to high toxicity.
