Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Germination percentage of cardoon seeds under Cd or Cd+As stress was similar to the no-metal control (80-90%).
- Association Cardoon germination percentage decreased with increasing As concentration, reaching 60% at 100 µM.
- Association Cardoon germination percentage decreased with increasing As concentration, reaching 30% at 200 µM.
- Association High As concentrations, alone or combined with Cd, stopped radicle emergence from germinated cardoon seeds.
- Association Low Cd concentrations reduced cardoon seedling growth by 20%.
- Association High Cd concentrations reduced cardoon seedling growth by 50%.
- Association Low As concentrations, alone or with Cd, reduced cardoon seedling growth.
- Observation The three cardoon genotypes showed good tolerance to Cd.
- Association Arsenic tolerance of cardoon was higher when combined with Cd.
