Vegetative parameters and mineral components of salt-sensitive strawberry exposed to combined salt stress and cadmium contamination

Strawberry is one of the most cultivated crops in irrigated horticulture where hydro/land resources during last decades are becoming limiting factors of production due to excessive salinization and/or contamination (by metals/nutrients/persistent organics). Salinity induces different physiological disorders in crops known as salt stress, whereas consummation of crops cultivated on metal contaminated land resources represents one of the most dominant transmission routs of many potentially toxic metals in the human food chain (Ondrasek and Rengel, 2012 and references therein). Also, an interaction of salinity (salt stress) and metal (Cd) contamination might further compromise nutritional status and crop yield (e.g. Ondrasek, 2013 and references therein) as was examined in this study.
