Abstract excerpt
Soil cadmium (Cd) pollution poses a serious threat to both the productivity and quality of wheat. This study aimed to investigate the genotypic variation in grain Cd concentration in wheat through field and pot experiments. Among 273 wheat genotypes, a significant genotypic difference was found in grain Cd concentration, ranging from 0.01 to 0.14 mg kg-1. Two contrasting genotypes, X321 (a low grain Cd...
