Abstract

The addition of NaCl to cadmium had significant synergistic effect on the wheat root and shoot fresh mass, relative growth rate and net assimilation rate, while showed no significant effects on the dry mass production, leaf area, leaf area ratio, leaf mass ratio and specific leaf area. Additive depression of the rate of photosynthesis and the stomatal conductance was recorded, while no significant effect on the transpiration rate was observed. The Cd stress disturbed the mineral nutrition of the wheat plants either directly or indirectly, NaCl markedly reduce the uptake and internal concentration of K and Ca in the shoot. The combination of cadmium and NaCl showed no additive effects on the content of ions in the root as well as in the shoot of wheat plants.
