Cadmium-Tolerant and -Sensitive Cultivars Identified by Screening of Medicago truncatula Germplasm Display Contrasting Responses to Cadmium Stress

Cadmium-Tolerant and -Sensitive Cultivars Identified by Screening of Medicago truncatula Germplasm Display Contrasting Responses to Cadmium Stress

Cadmium (Cd) pollution in soils is an increasing problem worldwide, and it affects crop production and safety. We identified Cd-tolerant and -sensitive cultivars by testing 258 accessions of Medicago truncatula at seedling stage, using the relative root growth (RRG) as an indicator of Cd tolerance....
