Abstract excerpt
Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in ratoon rice poses significant food-safety risks and complicates the sustainable expansion of ratooning systems. This study elucidates the physiological mechanisms governing Cd accumulation patterns in ratoon rice by comparing two genotypes contrasting in Cd accumulation under controlled Cd exposure. OsNramp5 loss-of-function reduced grain Cd by 39.5-51.2% across the main and ratoon...
