Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Lettuce cultivars differed significantly in edible-part Cd content and transport.
- Observation Pectin was the dominant Cd-responsive wall component with increased uronic acid.
- Association Modified and unmodified walls differed in Cd absorption.
- Observation LM19 fluorescence was significantly brighter in the low Cd cultivar.
- Intervention effect Cd treatment decreased root pectin methanol in the L cultivar by 40.82%.
- Association Root pectin demethyl esterification was greater in L than H.
- Intervention effect Cd upregulated pectin esterases in L cultivar.
- Intervention effect Cd downregulated pectin esterase inhibitors in L cultivar.
- Mechanism Pectin demethyl esterification was linked to higher Cd binding.
