Genotype variations in maize on cadmium contaminated soil

Based on the results presented in this study, it is apparent that different maize genotypes accumulate varying amounts of cadmium under the same treatments. The differences among genotypes were increased by elevated cadmium levels in soil. Cadmium also affects zinc uptake by the plants. Increasing the concentration of cadmium in soil resulted in splitting maize genotypes into two groups regarding cadmium accumulation (higher accumulating and lower accumulating).
