Abstract excerpt
Due to increased global concern over the deleterious effects of toxic heavy metals in the environment, it has become necessary to develop plant genotypes that limit the uptake of heavy metals to aerial edible parts. To address this concern, we performed a glasshouse experiment to assess variations within tomato germplasm for cadmium (Cd) tolerance under control conditions and under simulated stress conditions....
