- Intervention effect Silicon and iron increased photosynthetic pigment content and antioxidant enzyme activity.
- Intervention effect Silicon and iron increased transcription factor response.
- Intervention effect Silicon and iron improved tomato seedling growth under cadmium stress.
- Observation Photosynthesis and glutathione metabolism genes were overrepresented among differential expression results.
- Mechanism Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase was identified as critical to mitigation of cadmium toxicity.
- Mechanism CAB13 and CAB6A may modulate photorespiration and light capture after silicon and iron treatment.
