| Abstract/Contents: | "Cadmium is a heavy metal present in soils from natural and anthropogenic sources. Plant uptake of Cd at levels present in the soil solution is dependent on a system that is largely metabolically mediated and competitive with the uptake system for Zn and possibly other metals. Much of the Cd taken up by plants is retained in the root, but a portion is translocated to the aerial portions of the plant and into the seed. The amount of Cd accumulated and translocated in plants varies with species and with cultivars within species. Soil, environmental and management factors impact on the amount of Cd accumulated plants. Potential methods of reducing the accumulation of Cd in crops include reduction of Cd input to the soil system, site selection, management practices which decrease the concentration of Cd in the soil solution and its uptake and translocation by plants, and development and production of plant cultivars with the low tendency for genetic Cd uptake." |
