From: Cadmium uptake and partitioning in durum wheat during grain filling
Growth and cadmium accumulation of spikelets, leaves, and vegetative tillers in durum wheat during grain filling. Total dry weight, Cd content, and Cd concentration of spikelets, flag leaf, leaves 2–3, lower leaves, and vegetative tillers of low- (open circles) and high-Cd (closed circles) near-isogenic lines of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) between anthesis and 42 d post-anthesis. Plants were grown in chelator-buffered nutrient culture containing 0.5 μM Cd (0.014 nM free activity). Plotted values are means ± SE (n = 4 or 5).
