Abstract excerpt
Rice (Oryza sativa L.), a staple for half of the world's population, usually accumulates high levels of cadmium (Cd) in the grain when planted in the Cd-contaminated paddy fields. Genetic improvements using natural variation of grain-Cd accumulation is the most cost-effective way to mitigate the risk of excess Cd accumulation. However, as a complex trait, grain-Cd accumulation is susceptible to environmental...
