Description

Cadmium (Cd) is a noxious trace pollutant for humans, animals and plants. The increasing contamination of Cd in the environment and its accumulation in the food chain from anthropogenic activities, such as the non-ferrous metal industry, mining, use and disposal of batteries, metal-contaminated wastes and sludge disposal, application of pesticides and phosphate fertilizers leads to dispersion of Cd. This volume explores some of the more important aspects of Cd stress, demonstrates how they affect the plant and reviews how new genotypes, less vulnerable to stress, can be selected.
