Seed priming with calcium chloride improves the photosynthesis performance of faba bean plants subjected to cadmium stress

Seed priming with calcium chloride improves the photosynthesis performance of faba bean plants subjected to cadmium stress

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) seeds were treated with H2O [nonprimed (NP)] or 2% CaCl2 [primed (P)] before germination for 6 h. After seven days, seedlings were exposed to 0 or 50 µM CdCl2 concentrations for three weeks. Under Cd treatment, P plants showed an improvement of gas-exchange characteristics,...
