The effect of cadmium on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) shoot culture growth

  • Brief Communication

Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

The uptake of cadmium and its effect on the growth of potato shoot tips grownin vitro were followed in dependence on cadmium concentration in nutrient medium.

Concentration of 10−6M Cd2+did not substantially affect potato plantlet growth dynamics; but the concentration of 10−3 M Cd2+ showed a strong growth inhibitory effect accompanied with increased cadmium accumulation in both root and shoot tissues.
