• The timing of grain Cd accumulation in rice plants: the relative importance of remobilisation within the plant and root Cd uptake post-flowering (2011, background): “However, Tanaka et al. (2007) estimated that 91– 100% of the rice grain Cd entered the developing caryopsis via the phloem.”
• Toxic Heavy Metal and Metalloid Accumulation in Crop Plants and Foods. (2016, background): “This has been demonstrated for Cd (120) and As(III) (14) in rice [methylated As can also reach the rice grain via the xylem (14)].”
• Possible chemical forms of cadmium and varietal differences in cadmium concentrations in the phloem sap of rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) (2010, background): “…obtain phloem sap from mature Koshihikari, LAC 23 and Milyang 23 plants, growth was required up to the early grain-filling stage, at which point the plants are too tall to collect phloem sap from the uppermost internodes as done for a semi-dwarf cultivar (Tanaka et al. 2007; Yoneyama et al. 2010).”
• The Challenges and Solutions for Cadmium-contaminated Rice in China: A Critical Review. (2016, background): “Root-to-shoot translocation by xylem flow, instead of root uptake, is believed to control the level of Cd in rice shoot, while the grain Cd level is eventually governed by phloem transport of the Cd transported to the shoots (Kato et al., 2010; Tanaka et al., 2007; Uraguchi et al., 2009).”
• Xylem and phloem transport of Cd, Zn and Fe into the grains of rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) grown in continuously flooded Cd-contaminated soil (2010, unknown): “Moreover, Tanaka et al. (2007) estimated by model simulation using 109Cd tracing data that almost all of the Cd in the rice grains was imported via the phloem.”
