Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation All cardoon plants survived metal exposure through the experiment.
- Intervention effect Low arsenic stimulated cardoon growth relative to metal-free controls.
- Intervention effect Low cadmium stimulated cardoon growth relative to metal-free controls.
- Observation Arsenic treatment allocated most biomass to roots.
- Observation Cadmium treatment allocated most biomass to shoots.
- Mechanism Cadmium complexation with oxygen-containing ligands was proposed to underlie metal tolerance.
- Observation The two metals showed significant differences among genotypes.
- Observation The industrial-area wild cardoon genotype had the best phytoextraction capability for each metal.
