STUDIES ON CADMIUM TOXICITY IN PLANTS: A REVIEW
This review emphasises cadmium toxicity on plants with
regards to ecological, physiological and biochemical
aspects. Cadmium toxicity in plants and problems concerning
tolerance and ecological performance are discussed
briefly. Efforts have been made to compare the
relative sensitivity of various plant groups including microand
macro-flora. This review may help in interdisciplinary
studies to assess the ecological significance of metal stress.
