Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Elevated cadmium concentrations severely suppressed shoot growth of pear trees.
- Intervention effect Elevated cadmium concentrations in nutrient solution increased cadmium contents in tissues of pear trees.
- Observation Cadmium contents in young roots of pear trees were much higher than in other parts.
- Observation Cadmium detected in young roots was 53～82% of the total cadmium accumulated in pear trees.
- Observation Elevated cadmium concentrations caused uniform chlorosis in newly developed leaves and defoliation of pear trees.
- Observation Elevated cadmium concentrations caused localized necrosis in bark and necrosis in buds of pear trees.
