Boron Mitigates Cadmium Toxicity by Reducing Cadmium Accumulation, Enhancing Cell Wall Immobilization and Regulating Gene Expression in Malus Rootstock Under Hydroponic Conditions
To investigate the mitigating role and underlying mechanisms of exogenous boron (B) in cadmium (Cd)-stressed woody fruit trees, a hydroponic study was conducted using Malus hupehensis Rehd. seedlings treated with different B concentrations (0, 12.5, 50, and 150 μM H3BO3). Cd stress significantly inhibited plant growth...
