Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Arsenic treatment reduced biomass production of cardoon after 15 days.
- Intervention effect High doses of As inhibited growth of cardoon.
- Observation High doses of As caused cardoon plants to die.
- Observation Cardoon rapidly took up arsenic by its roots.
- Observation Arsenic accumulated in the aerial parts of cardoon.
- Association As concentration in cardoon tissues increased with increasing As concentration.
- Intervention effect Cd treatment decreased Cd concentration in cardoon roots over time.
- Intervention effect Cd treatment increased Cd concentration in cardoon leaves over time.
- Intervention effect Cd presence increased the ability of cardoon to translocate As from root to shoot.
- Intervention effect Cd+As treatment made cardoon more tolerant to As than As alone, up to 45 days.
- Intervention effect Cd+As treatment increased the ability of cardoon to phytoextraction.
