Abstract excerpt
Excessive cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice grains poses a serious threat to food security. Cd uptake by roots and its subsequent transport to grains are mediated by mineral element transporters in rice. Consequently, efforts to reduce Cd accumulation are often accompanied by unintended decreases in essential mineral elements. Achieving a substantial reduction in grain Cd concentrations while maintaining...
