Abstract excerpt
Background/Objectives: Both NPs and Cd alone exert adverse effects on plant growth by disrupting physiological processes and gene expression. However, the mechanisms underlying their combined effects on plant genetic responses remain incompletely understood. Methods: The rice seedlings were used as the experimental material, with the following six treatments established: CK (Control, no NPs and Cd), 10 and 100...
