“…The latest National Soil Pollution Survey Bulletin reveals that the exceedance rates of cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), arsenic (As), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) in China’s cultivated soils were 7.0, 4.8, 2.7, 2.1, 1.6, and 1.5%, respectively . Cadmium, with the highest exceedance rate among these, not only degrades soil functionality and diminishes crop yield and quality but also poses significant health risks through the food chain. , Therefore, developing effective strategies to mitigate Cd accumulation in crops is imperative, and understanding the uptake and translocation processes of Cd in plants is critical to formulating the reduction technologies.…”
