Cadmium accumulation and antioxidative defences in Brassica juncea L. Czern, Nicotiana tabacum L. and Solanum nigrum L.

Remediation of sites contaminated with heavy metals using hyperaccumulators seems a promising alternative to engineering approaches. In this work, we compared cadmium (Cd) accumulation and tolerance (based on responses to oxidative stress) in three different species, Brassica juncea (L.) Czern, Nico...
