Metals Induce Genotoxicity in Three Cardoon Cultivars: Relation to Metal Uptake and Distribution in Extra- and Intracellular Fractions

Heavy metal-polluted soil represents an important stress condition for plants. Several studies demonstrated that growth inhibition under metal stress and metal-induced damages, including genotoxicity, is particularly pronounced at the early stages of seedling growth. Moreover, it is reported that he...
