Cadmium Uptake and Accumulation in Economically Important Crops and Key Implications for Phytoremediation: Evidence from a Case Study on Sorghum

Given its high mobility and bioaccumulative nature, cadmium (Cd) contamination in agricultural soils poses a serious risk to food safety and human health. In particular, crop plants act as a critical interface between contaminated environments and the food chain. However, species-specific patterns of Cd uptake and internal distribution remain insufficiently understood. This chapter presents a case…
