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...

Intraspecific Variations in Cadmium Accumulation Capacity of Crops and Application of Pollution-Safe Cultivar
Vegetables, especially leafy vegetables, are inclined to absorb and accumulate heavy metals than any other kinds of crops in the study of Liu et al. (2005a, b, c). To deal with the Cd contamination in agricult...

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 ...
