Abstract
- The production of leafy vegetables such as Brassica chinensis L. in cadmium (Cd)-polluted soil causes serious threats to human health and food safety around the globe. A pot culture was established to examine the efficacy of rice-straw induced biochar (applied to soil at the rate of 0%, 2.5% and 5%, w/w) on growth, gaseous exchange attributes, antioxidative capacities and Cd uptake in pak choi (Brassica chinensis L.), when soil was spiked with Cd (CdCl2) at 0, 5, 10 and 20 mg kg−1 soil. The results revealed that Cd stress significantly (P
