Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><italic>Background and aims</italic> Cadmium (Cd) contamination is a serious threat to plants and humans. Silicon (Si) was reported to have some alleviative effects on plant tolerance to Cd stress. However, whether Si alleviates Cd toxicity in maize genotypes with contrasting root system size are unknown. <italic>Methods</italic> Effects of Si applications (0 and 200 mg kg<sup>-1</sup>...
