Abstract excerpt
Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice is a serious threat to food safety and human health. Breeding rice varieties with low Cd accumulation is one of the most effective approaches to reducing health risks from Cd-polluted rice. However, the genetic basis of Cd accumulation in grains, especially in indica rice varieties, has not been fully elucidated. The evaluation of Cd-accumulation capacity was conducted among 338...
