Chapter
Cultivar-Dependent Cadmium Uptake and Translocation of Water Spinach and Its Stability
There exists great difference in Cd accumulation among different species and even cultivars within the same species. This makes it possible to select and breed low-Cd cultivars in order to reduce Cd intake by ...

Chapter
A Decisive Role of Roots on Shoot Cd Accumulation of Water Spinach
People are more concerned about shoot Cd concentrations as it is closely related to food safety and human health (Yu et al. 2006; Zhu et al. 2007; Liu et al. 2010; Wang et al. 2009; **n et al. 2010). However, ...

Chapter
Subcellular and Chemical Mechanisms Affecting the Cultivar-Dependent Cd Accumulation of Water Spinach
In recent years, lots of studies have proved that Cd pollution can cause damage to plant growth and physiological metabolism (Shahid et al. 2017). Toxic effect of Cd is related to its accumulation from plant r...

Differences of Cd-Induced Gene Expressions Between Low- and High-Cd Accumulating Cultivars of Water Spinach: A Case Using Suppression Subtractive Hybridization (SSH) Method
Two Cd-PSCs of water spinach were selected in order to reduce Cd content entering into food chain. The mechanisms of the cultivar-dependent Cd accumulation are worth studying. Various methods, such as differen...

Chapter
Breeding of New Cultivar of Water Spinach with Low Shoot Cd and Pb Accumulations
Selection and breeding of pollution-safe cultivar (PSC) has been considered as a practical method for minimizing the concentrations of heavy metals in crops. Six generations of P1, F1, P2, B1, B2 and F2 from Q...

Chapter
Comparative Transcriptome and MicroRNAs Analyses Between Low- and High-Cd Accumulating Cultivars of Water Spinach
In this chapter, the transcriptome and microRNAs analyses between low Cd cultivar (QLQ) and the high Cd cultivar (T308) of .water spinach were focused under 5 mg/L Cd treatment. Higher levels of cell wall bios...
