Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Cd reduced fresh and dry root and shoot mass.
- Intervention effect Cd increased root to shoot ratios.
- Observation Cd-treated plants developed few brownish roots with short laterals.
- Intervention effect Cd decreased N, P and Mg uptake.
- Intervention effect Cd facilitated Ca uptake.
- Intervention effect Several Cd treatments produced leaf Fe-deficiency symptoms.
- Intervention effect Cd-associated Fe deficiency lowered leaf chlorophyll and carotenoids.
- Intervention effect Cd-associated Fe deficiency raised carotenoid to chlorophyll and chlorophyll a/b ratios.
- Observation Cd-associated Fe deficiency caused de-epoxidation of violaxanthin cycle pigments.
- Intervention effect Cd-associated Fe deficiency reduced photosynthetic rates and PSII efficiency.
- Intervention effect At 50 μM CdCl2 growth decreased without marked Fe-deficiency symptoms.
- Intervention effect Cd treatments increased root-tip Fe(III)-chelate reductase activity.
- Intervention effect Cd treatment left shoot iron concentrations similar to controls.
- Intervention effect Pb-EDTA induced visible symptoms only at 2 mM.
- Observation Pb-treated leaves remained green and had inward-rolled edges.
- Intervention effect Pb increased root fresh and dry mass.
- Intervention effect Pb did not change shoot mass.
- Intervention effect Pb increased root to shoot ratio.
- Observation Pb caused minor nutrient changes, near-critical leaf Cu, no leaf Fe-deficiency signs, and increased root-tip reductase.
