Seed priming with calcium chloride improves the photosynthesis performance of faba bean plants subjected to cadmium stress
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) seeds were treated with H2O [nonprimed (NP)] or 2% CaCl2 [primed (P)] before germination for 6 h. After seven days, seedlings were exposed to 0 or 50 µM CdCl2 concentrations for three weeks. Under Cd treatment, P plants showed an improvement of gas-exchange characteristics,...
