Cadmium-induced stress on the seed germination and seedling growth of Brassica napus L., and its alleviation through exogenous plant growth regulators (2009, background): “Like, seedling growth of Arabidopsis thaliana was more sensitive to heavy metals (Hg2?, Pb2?, Cu2? and Zn2?) in comparison to seed germination; whereas, Cd2? inhibited both of these processes at similar concentrations (Li et al. 2005).”
Variation in response to heavy metals during vegetative growth in Dorycnium pentaphyllum Scop. (2009, background): “…consequence of Cd interaction with calmodulin (Rivetta et al. 1997), inhibition of reserve mobilization through a decrease in a-amylase activities (Atici et al. 2003; Li et al. 2005) or interference with the hormonal status of the germinating seeds (Atici et al. 2003, 2005; Sharma and Kumar 2002).”
