Stable Isotope Analyses Reveal Impact of Fe and Zn on Cd Uptake and Translocation by <i>Theobroma cacao</i>
High concentrations of toxic cadmium (Cd) in soils are problematic as the element accumulates in food crops such as rice and cacao. A mitigation strategy to minimise Cd accumulation is to enhance the competitive uptake of plant-essential metals. <i>Theobroma cacao</i> seedlings were grow...
