Abstract excerpt
Present study identified WM (T1) and DCH-177(T2) as cadmium (Cd) tolerant and GCH2 (S1) and GCH4 (S2) as Cd-sensitive genotypes of castor. Cd treatment (500 μM) led to a significant decline in leaf and root biomass, photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (C), transpiration rate (E), water use efficiency (WUE), photosynthetic pigments content, and altered chlorophyll fluorescence in S1 and S2 genotypes but...
