Article Synopsis
- * Three pot experiments revealed that MAP 3 had the highest Cd concentration (20.71 mg/kg) and significantly contributed to soil and plant Cd accumulation, while MAP 1 had much lower Cd levels (0.87 mg/kg) suitable for low-Cd labeling.
- * Results showed that rice accumulated less Cd than potatoes, and soil liming reduced Cd levels in crops like tobacco and potato by up to 35%, raising concerns for soil and human health, and providing insights for developing
This study aimed to investigate the role of Se supply in improving osmotic stress tolerance in coffee seedlings while also evaluating the best timing for Se application. Five times of Se foliar application were assessed during induced osmotic stress with PEG-6000 using the day of imposing stress as a default, plus two control treatments: with osmotic stress and without Se, and without osmotic stress and Se. Results demonstrated that osmotic stress (OS) promoted mild stress in the coffee plants (ψw from -1.

Moniliophthora perniciosa has a broad host range and infects a variety of meristematic tissues in cacao plants, whereas M. roreri infects only pods of Theobroma and Herrania genera.
