Abstract
The uptake of cadmium by cultured vegetative clones of the aquatic fern Marsilea minuta was studied in a static experimental bioassay system as functions of dose and period of exposure. The pathomorphological manifestations of Cd toxicity, as studied by transmission electron microscope, indicated damage to chloroplasts and tonoplasts as well as electron opaque granular deposits. Preliminary evidence based on molecular sieving chromatography showed the formation of two cadmium-binding proteins of 78 and 33 kDa in the leaf tissue under cadmium stress.Entities:
