Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Cd accumulates specifically in the meristematic tissue of the growing maize leaf.
- Observation Cd concentration in the elongation zone of the maize leaf declines rapidly.
- Intervention effect Cd lowers the number of meristematic cells in the maize leaf.
- Intervention effect Cd lengthens the cell cycle duration in the maize leaf.
- Intervention effect Cd appears to inhibit the G1/S transition in the maize leaf.
- Intervention effect Cd lowers the proportion of cells in the S phase in the maize leaf.
- Intervention effect Cd reduces endoreduplication in expanding maize leaf cells.
- Intervention effect Cd lowers expression of key cell cycle genes in the maize leaf.
