  1. 1 Dry weight (DW) and mineral content (Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) of low- and high-Cd near-isogenic lines of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) during grain filling expressed at each harvest as a percentage of the maximum accumulation at any harvest (low-Cd:high-Cd). 2DPA days post-anthesis. 3NA not applicable.
