Molecular and physiological mechanisms of the cadmium response in seedlings of two Theobroma cacao L. genotypes
Understanding the mechanisms of cadmium (Cd) accumulation in cacao plants is critical to mitigating health risks associated with Cd exposure through chocolate consumption. A general and genotype-specific molecular and physiological responses were characterized. Seedlings of cacao genotypes PA121 and TSH660 were exposed...
