Other claims from this paper (17)
- Association Heavy metal stress significantly increased the thickness of root endodermis, xylem, cortex and stellar cells in wheat.
- Association Cd exposure caused enlarged parenchyma in the wheat cultivar Pak-13.
- Association Ni and Pb led to cortical dissolutions in the wheat cultivar SKD-1.
- Association Both wheat cultivars showed thickening of leaf tissues under metal exposure.
- Association SKD-1 displayed better structural adaptations under metal exposure than the other cultivar.
- Intervention effect Heavy metal stress significantly reduced grain yield of wheat in the field experiment.
- Intervention effect Cd reduced grain yield of Pak-13 by 60.94%.
- Intervention effect Ni reduced grain yield of Pak-13 by 91.96%.
- Intervention effect Cr reduced grain yield of Pak-13 by 62.68%.
