Pot and field trials were conducted to investigate Cd uptake and phytoremediation efficiency of two cultivars (QY-1 and SYH) with applied water-soluble chitosan (WSC, Pot: 0, 2% and 4%; Field: 0 and 10 g·m) grown in Cd-contaminated soils. The results from the pot and field trials generally showed that WSC treatments significantly increased Cd concentrations in shoot and root tissues by 33.77-159.

The principal components were also analyzed for source apportionment to provide a theoretical basis for the control and prevention of heavy metal pollution. According to the results, the soils in the study area are severely contaminated by Cd and Cu and moderated contaminated by As due to the battery manufacture and Cu (e.

A hydroponic experiment was conducted to explore the differences in growth status and Cd accumulation characteristics of two L. cultivars (QY-1 and SYH) under different concentrations of cadmium (Cd) stress (0, 2, and 5 mg·L). The Cd subcellular compartmentalization and antioxidant enzyme activities were determined to elucidate the intrinsic mechanism of the differences in the Cd accumulation capacity between the two cultivars of L.
