Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Cadmium reduced soybean biomass and seed production.
- Intervention effect Nickel reduced soybean biomass and seed production.
- Observation Metal accumulation was mainly in soybean roots.
- Observation Nickel was more mobile than Cd and reached higher levels in plant parts, especially seeds.
- Observation Mature seed Ni concentration was highest in axis and testa.
- Observation Mature seed Cd concentration was highest in testa and cotyledon and lowest in axis.
- Association Per seed metal content of these organs increased with developmental age.
- Observation Nickel amounts were lower in pods than seeds at all growth stages.
- Observation Cadmium amounts did not significantly differ between pods and seeds.
- Intervention effect Cadmium reduced mature seed mass.
- Intervention effect Nickel reduced the number of seeds per pod.
- Intervention effect Nickel did not affect seed mass or storage reserves.
