Evaluation of three wheat ( L.) cultivars as sensitive Cd biomarkers during the seedling stage.

Sensitive seedling crops have been developed to monitor Cadmium (Cd) contamination in agricultural soil. In the present study, 18 parameters involving growth conditions and physiological performances were assessed to evaluate Cd-responses of three wheat ( L.) cultivars, Xihan1 (XH), Longzhong1 (LZ) and Dingfeng16 (DF).
